  You're listening to How to Be a Better Human.

• 00:04

  I'm your host, Chris Duffy.

• 00:06

  Today's guest is psychologist Guy Winch.

• 00:08

  And Guy was actually the very first guest we ever had on this podcast,

• 00:12

  way back on our very first episode more than six years ago.

• 00:15

  Guy is back today to talk about his new book,

• 00:18

  Mind Over Grind, How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life.

• 00:22

  Now,

• 00:23

  I think we're all aware of how a terrible job can dominate our thoughts and keep us up at night.

• 00:28

  I once worked at a place where the boss threw a plastic trash can at the wall and in the middle of a meeting would loudly shush people who he didn't like,

• 00:36

  like, shh, stop talking.

• 00:38

  Now, that was not a fun job.

• 00:40

  I was very stressed and I spent a lot of time worrying while I was working there.

• 00:44

  But what Guy points out is that our lives can get taken over by work even when the jobs are good,

• 00:50

  even when we like what we're doing and we respect the people who we're working with.

• 00:54

  In other words, figuring out how to reclaim your life from being just about work,

• 00:59

  that is something that applies to all of us.

• 01:02

  In today's episode,

• 01:03

  we are going to get a lot deeper than just saying you should have a work-life balance.

• 01:07

  OK, great.
