<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Business psychologist Tony Crabbe outlines a unique four-step approach to combating one of the modern life's great problems: being too busy. BUSY is divided into four digestible sections -- Mastery, Differentiation, Engagement and Momentum -- that will teach readers how to switch from managing time to managing attention, how to transition toward a career strategy that doesn't hinge on productivity, how to think differently about success by re-engaging with what matters, and how to create the impetus, energy, and clarity to put all these changes into effect. Crabbe draws on entertaining psychological studies to show why we're getting it wrong at the moment and to develop a fresh new approach to taking back one's life from chaotic outside forces. Rarely has a book been more timely in both its scope and in its immediate impact. "--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Buster, a half-German Shepherd mutt, was adopted by Roy Hattersley in December 1995. He began to dictate his diaries soon after his arrival. <p/> Buster became England's most famous dog in 1996 when he defended himself against a goose in St. James's Park -- a goose which, unfortunately, belonged to the Queen. Pursued by the press ever since, he has sought solace in writing. Buster's Diaries is the comically heart-warming true story of Buster's triumph over adversity, as he describes his rescue from a paw-to-mouth existence on scraps to his new life in the lap of luxury -- and at the same time reveals the secrets of the strange relationship between dog and the Man on the other end of the lead. <p/> Never before have readers been offered such insights into the aromatic canine world. The irresistible fragrance of chicken bones picked off the sidewalk. The special rituals required to receive delicious treats (pig ears, dog biscuits). The sawdust balls Buster must eat to stay healthy while the Man gobbles down chocolate cookies. The painful digestive consequences of eating cream filled cookies while still wrapped. <p/> The diaries also reveal the strain of living with the Man -- the constant power struggle of who's boss, the training ceremonies, the Man's strange excrement collection syndrome and reliance on new dog humiliation technology. <p/> Buster's Diaries will make you laugh and it will make you cry but it has a happy ending.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[In BUSY] psychological and business research are translated into practical tools and skills.--<i><b>Ugly Research Newsletter</b></i><br><br>A life-changing book which reassesses what you are doing, why you are doing it and in what way.--<i><b>Carol Ann Rice, The Daily Express</b></i><br><br>Crabbe draws on entertaining psychological studies to show why we're getting it wrong at the moment and to develop a fresh new approach to taking back one's life from chaotic outside forces.--<i><b>IN Business Magazine</b></i><br><br>Crabbe presents an array of techniques and tactics to help readers relinquish their busyness and gain control of their lives.
