Hutchinson Working Hard, Hardly Working: How to achieve more, stress less and feel fulfilled: THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

I have picked up this book at the airport, and it completely changed my approach to work. Gave me a piece of mind. The book is well and easy written. Lead to more inspiring reading materials.Bought this copy for a friend.Highly recommend.

The author or editor wanted so badly to fit into reddit culture and to appeal to the Millennial and Gen Z audience that they crammed at least one meme into every paragraph. Either that or the writer is a grad of the Harvard's music program who has somehow never read a book and is now a CEO.I have to believe that a CEO and Harvard Grad is well read, so I assume the entirety of the writing style of the book can be summed up into one meme. "Hello, fellow kids!"It's painful to read, and even if it has a good point to make it is drowned in the writing style of someone who has no taste for literature and an addiction to social media.Truly disappointing.Edit: This only applies to the introduction and the first few paragraphs of the first chapter. After that there are only a few misguided attempts at relating to the presumed reader. Additionally the points made are salient and useful, and though thus far in my reading I havn't seen any primary sources cited, she makes good reference to other influential books in the area's she is talking about.

As a 28 year old who's been working for almost 10 years I think this might be a good read for people who find themselves in the start of their career and struggle to organize themselves and their time.Personally speaking, there were some interesting points and methods, but nothing really new or brilliant. It's well composed and well written, and you're provided with some tips & tricks that teach you some of the basics and personal hacks of the author (as she is an influencer you'll probably be more prone to actually "listen" and put it in practice).Still, it's quite relatable and a nice read, so 4/5. :)

Most other self-help books that I have read are very repetitive and boring to read. Grace has written a book that is actually captivating and interesting. It motivated me to implement certain methods and helped me organize my life, as well as, learn how important it is to take some actual time for myself.

I have been looking for a book/guru to organise my life and let me tell you, Grace Beverley is the ultimate organisation queen. I want to start by pointing out that although many have put their two pence in by criticising Grace for her privileged upbringing (jealousy’s a b***h), Grace writes with absolute honesty and integrity around the subject. Regardless of anyone’s background, do you really think creating two successful businesses, studying law at Oxford and staying moderately sane is an easy feat?! Her absolutely tenacity and unfaltering can-do attitude is what got her where she is. (Also before criticising her writing style, at least try to write an Amazon review with some grace and decorum)Every single person can benefit from this book. Grace writes with complete honesty and it’s refreshing to read something that genuinely comes from the heart, rather than a load of ‘do this, do that’ mantras. She’s witty, funny and smart which keeps the book easy and entertaining to read, whilst also providing fool proof ways to change your day to day life for the better. Not only that, she speaks the holy grail of hard pills to swallow by calling out the ‘hustle-porn’ plastered across social media, of which we have been brainwashed into thinking is healthy. Thank god someone said it. We are blessed that someone of Grace’s following and influence has spread awareness of the soul destroying work culture we all participate in.I really do love this book and the whole concept as it demonstrates how important work-life balance is. Give it a go, you won’t regret it!

I was so excited to get this book and it definitely lived up to expectation!Not only is the cover beautiful (the kind of book you always want on show) but when reading the book you feel like you're having a conversation with Grace herself and there are lots of useful bits of advice throughout the book that I think business owners especially will benefit from.Common sense is not always common action and so while some of the ideas in the book might seem 'obvious', if you're not already doing it, then you likely needed to hear it again.I think some of the reviews on here are incredibly harsh. Grace acknowledges her privilege regularly throughout the book and anyone who has followed her journey will know that she works her ass off.I read many business books and I thought this one had a refreshing and honest perspective that I could really relate to. I felt that a lot of the thoughts and beliefs I hadn't been able to articulate were finally put into words which felt like such a relief.
