The Workbook: Redesigning 925 - Paperback

by Saku Tuominen (Author), Jyri Ohman (Illustrator), Lola Rogers (Translator)

Our work is confusing and fragmented. We feel busy all the time. We don't believe that people feel overworked because they're doing too much work. A more likely reason is that they're doing too much work that feels meaningless and too little work that is meaningful. The aim of The Workbook is to bring joy back to our work. To help people to be healthier and at the same time get more done. The Workbook is based on a year-long research the authors conducted on 9 Finnish workplaces using the design thinking method. The book offers practical, no-nonsense tools for changing one's work habit by habit.
