In the time of Covid, with he blurring of boundaries between work and life, the increased stresses caused by the virus and social isolation, and the dire predictions about the impact all this is having on our mental health, we all need the wisdom of Dr Jamie Gruman.

While Dr Gruman's work spans the gamut of HR and business I asked him to join me specificallly to share some of the insights from his book Boost: The Science of Recharging Yourself in the Age of Unrelenting Demands.  While written a couple of years ago, this is very much a book of our times.

Dr Gruman walks us through his RNU model - Rebuild, Nourish, Unhook - that you can apply to your downtime so that it genuinely replenishes you and raises your energy.  If you've ever come back from a vacation wishing you could have had another week, or if you struggle to maintain your energy at work, Dr Gruman's approach is for you.
