Cosmopolitan

Pinpoints and unpacks the confusing and impossible messages we are all fed about modern work, how we are supposedly meant to be "nailing" all areas of our life all at once. I'm a big advocate of defining success for yourself, which is exactly what this book helps readers do.

EMMA GANNON, author of The Multi-Hyphen Method

As she makes clear in her excellent new book, Working Hard, Hardly Working: How to Achieve More, Stress Less and Feel Fulfilled - which she characteristically wrote while running two businesses - twentysomethings are in fact far more obsessed with productivity than their predecessors. And it's not always healthy.

The Times

A new blueprint for our current work environment ... Beverley's book investigates what it means to truly work hard and why we feel that unless we're up working till 2 a.m. and not getting enough sleep, we're not working hard enough.

Pop Sugar

A new productivity blueprint.

Cosmopolitan

Essential reading for anyone who takes their working life seriously.
