Features: In a highly competitive society, facing a fast-paced life rhythm, German psychologist Dr. Cornelia Tils tells us: For health, don’t waste your free time aimlessly; free yourself from pressure, cherish your energy, and master your own life rhythm. The result of contentment is beautiful—it neither depends on material nor on achievements. Everywhere, many people complain about the "pressure" they bear. They often have to consider efficiency at work, at home, even during leisure. Their demand for efficiency increases with their higher positions, and they strive to do everything perfectly, creating results during workdays to feel at ease. However, many "efficiencies" are unnecessary, and many pressures are even self-imposed. If not it, negative effects may arise. On the contrary, what people need is more leisure time, an optimistic attitude toward life, fewer tasks, and more joy. Sufficient joy in life can keep people energetic on workdays, which is the best way to prevent complete exhaustion of their energy. The author of this book is a renowned doctor and therapist, who successfully elaborates on the idea of "balancing efficiency demands" in this new book. This means enabling people to achieve more results with the same or fewer inputs.
