This book was fairly interesting and detailed some great ways to prioritize one's mental health. I loved how the author used a lot of scientific studies to back up claims while showing how vital the power of the mind is to health. My biggest issue with the book is that there are so many stories that really bogged it down. I understand that the author was trying to tie it in to use as an example but they felt so repetitive and many of them were hard to relate to. The target audience mainly seemed to be business professionals. However, I did enjoy the chapter on teaching children these skills. It brought up some great points, even if it wasn't exactly what I originally expected the book to be.

Synopsis: This book is for people who are struggling with the multiple demands of jobs that never seem to end and the complexities of their home lives. Struggling on without thinking through how to make it work can lead to exhaustion, unhappiness, burn-out, or depression. No Time To Breathe presents practical ideas that come out of Dr. Bill Mitchell's clinical experience in getting people back to a zone of better energy, balance, fulfillment, and more balanced ways of thinking about themselves.⁠

This is an informative and easy to read book with many practical tips that we can all follow to manage stress and reduce burnout. Dr. Mitchell emphasizes the importance of maintaining balance in all areas of our lives, including family, work, diet, exercise, sleep, and hobbies. I really liked that he pointed out the red flags, too, that are telling of when the balance is slipping and could lead to mental and physical discomfort and even serious illness. I think it's a great book for this year of living in a pandemic. ⁠

Thank you @netgalley for this e-ARC.⁠

The effects of doing too much, struggling with loads and yet feeling we aren’t doing enough, is something many of us face. This author gets right to the bottom of that, sharing his own stories as well as others who are so busy that they have no time to breathe. He asks questions and suggestions to help us get in the right balance, and gives research on just what stress of overwork, among other things, can do to us. The one thing I did not like about this book that made it so hard to read were the massive paragraphs. I love words, but the long paragraphs with little white space and no tabbing made it difficult to read on my phone. That could just be the ARC, but it did make trying to read this a bit exhausting. Otherwise, great information in this book.
