The Amazing Power of Grace Under Pressure!

When the going gets tough, the tough have fun!

It's a fact: people who bring joy into their daily work are more likely to be resilient under pressure, forward-looking, calm, productive, healthy, and liked by employees as well as employers.

In Lighten Up! The Amazing Power of Grace Under Pressure, C. W. Metcalf reveals the specific skills you can practice to develop more joy in your personal and professional life, and take yourself lightly even while your work becomes serious. By putting into practice the important skills in Lighten Up!, you'll learn how to:

  • Overcome fears that hold you back.
  • Thrive in an ever-changing environment.
  • Cultivate your sense of joy in being alive.
  • Maximize your physical and emotional health.
  • Separate who you are from what you do.
  • Do the Zygo Boogie!
  • And more!

Taking yourself lightly, laughing in the face of problems, and staying upbeat while pursuing your goals is C. W. Metcalf's re-definition of the "professional attitude." Discover how you can be successful and have fun at the same time!
