The main ideas of the book:
- Your mental and emotional bandwidth enable you to live and work with passion and energy. With available bandwidth, you make decisions, exercise will power, express your emotions civilly, manage your time, and achieve your goals.
- Our habits, our workplaces, and modern technology are draining our bandwidth away in ways we may not realize. With individual and community changes, we can get our bandwidth back.
Why I chose this book:
Low on bandwidth, burnt out, and struggling? I think every educator I know has felt this pain in recent years, and I’m glad to be able to share this book with all of you to help you reclaim the time, energy, and passion that you and your colleagues have lost. It’s not one quick and simple fix, but a multi-faceted approach. It will require both individual change and community change as well as some reflection on how we’re using technology. This book will help you identify which habits are helping you to work and live at your best and which are hurting your ability to focus your attention and effectively fuel your body and brain. Read on to discover which personal and community habits you need to discard, and which to build upon for a more energetic and passionate tomorrow.
