Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder by Arianna Huffington

3.0

Nothing that Huffington has to say in this book is really new: get more sleep, take care of your mental health, meditate, lower your stress, focus on what's important, disconnect from the internet sometimes. Still, she made the book entertaining enough to read, interspersing anecdotes about ways she's tried to make Huffington Post a nice place to work and bits of research that try to make the business case for healthier happier workers benefitting the bottom line.

There's something ironic about a long list of apps to help you disconnect, to remind you to meditate, to aid you in taking a break. Then again, it's still basically worthwhile to be reminded. And, realistically, some of the technology is useful. Setting your computer to at least keep track of how much time is wasted can help with accountability and responsible use of work time.
