Aisle 6: Life Beyond Work
Recent research has shown that many of us prefer the workplace to our own homes, and our business colleagues to our families. But employers who rejoice in this phenomenon are kidding themselves. It's the healthy, well-rounded employee who brings the true creative spark to every task and the most enduring sense of commitment to the job.
If you or your workforce have lost touch with life outside the office, take a look at the books listed here. They can help you get back in touch with yourself, your family, and the world beyond your desk. Ultimately, the bottom line will benefit--and you just might live a little longer to enjoy the results. Remember, no one ever looked up from their death bed and said, "I wish I'd spent more time at the office."

We: Understanding the Psychology of Romantic Love by Robert Johnson (New York: Harper & Row, 1983). The myth of Tristan and Iseult is one of the earliest tales of romantic love. Johnson uses this myth to explain the essence and meaning of romantic love. He identifies many of the unconscious beliefs about love that are shared by both men and women. Then he goes on to show how we can overcome the illusions we often have about love and create a deeper, longer lasting, more meaningful relationship based on a new understanding of true love. After all, work isn't everything.
