The Way We're Working Isn't Working by Tony Schwartz

Page 33:

Think for a moment about your own experience at work.

How truly engaged are you? What's the cost to you of the way you're working? What's the impact on those you supervise and those you love?

What will the accumulated toll be in ten years if you're still making the same choices?

The way we're working isn?t working in our own lives, for the people we lead and manage, and for the organizations in which we work. We're guided by a fatal assumption that the best way to get more done is to work longer and more continuously. But the more hours we work and the longer we go without real renewal, the more we begin to default, reflexively, into behaviors that reduce our own effectiveness -- impatience, frustration, distraction, and disengagement --and take a pernicious toll on others.
