'The High Achiever's Guide to Happiness is a very practical book that provides both a strategic framework to understand why high achievers do what they do as well as plenty of real life examples on how to achieve the right work/life balance in your own life. I found this to be a refreshing reminder of what's really important in my own life as well as what I need to do to keep it all in perspective. Highly recommended reading.'
