About This Book
Based on cutting-edge research and first-hand interviews, The Autonomy Mindset illustrates that personal autonomy is part of our nature; it is not only essential to our productivity at work, but also directly impacts our physical and mental health. The book reveals how modern plagues such as the fear of missing out, the fear of better options, and blurred personal boundaries can all be attributed to our loss of personal autonomy, and offers actionable antidote to them. You'll read about the latest research that dissects the dynamics of autonomy, and real-life experiences ranging from graduate school students to corporate employees.
The autonomy mindset drives other positive traits such as confidence, motivation, focus and courage. Once we start thinking with such a mindset, we can better discern problems of our modern life and take concrete action to safeguard our freedom for our greater satisfaction and success in life.
