A great day at the office

simple strategies to maximize your energy and get more done more easily

by John Briffa

Published 2014298 pagesISBN 978-0-0075-4791-3

Just a few small changes to your daily routine could boost your productivity and performance, making for a healthier and happier you. Dr Briffa's 'Escape the Diet Trap' revolutionized how we lose weight. Now he shows that getting ahead at work doesn't have to mean long hours, no breaks and an over-dependence on the snack machine. Based on the latest research and Dr Briffa's work with a wide range of leading businesses 'A Great Day at the Office' offers a tried and tested strategy to bring out the best in you, at your job and in your life!

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Self-Help. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.

Begin with its place in Self-Help, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. Which ideas feel usable in your actual circumstances—not only persuasive on the page?
  2. Where does the author distinguish evidence, experience, and opinion?
  3. What would a small, humane experiment with one idea look like?
