Well Enough: Why The £51 Billion Workplace Problem Starts At Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798186645467)

You are not falling apart. You are not thriving either. Until now, nobody has really had a word for the bit in between.

David Oswald spent twenty years designing training programmes for people who were too exhausted to learn from them, before he admitted the problem was never the training. Then he noticed the same thing happening on his own sofa most evenings: forty minutes gone, phone in hand, and somehow still dented rather than restored.

That gap has a cost. UK employers lose 51 billion a year to poor mental health at work, and 24 billion of that is presenteeism: people at their desks, logged in, running on a fraction of themselves. This book argues that figure and your Tuesday evening are the same problem, seen from two directions.

Built around seven dimensions of wellbeing, explored once at home and once at work, Well Enough makes the case that the version of you depleted at the kitchen table is the same one who walks into the nine o'clock meeting. Neither needs an hour a day, a cold plunge, or a five o'clock alarm.

Inside, you'll find:

• Seven dimensions of wellbeing, each grounded in personal experience and evidence
• 30+ small practices, most under five minutes
• The research behind burnout, presenteeism and workplace loneliness, explained without jargon
• A closing argument for employers and individuals that reaches the same conclusion from opposite directions

Small, evidenced, and built to survive an actual Tuesday, in an actual life, with an actual inbox.

Not perfect. Not extreme. Just well enough.
