Dethroning Sacred Spaces: The Hidden Truths of How to Reduce Stress and Burnout, Increase Productivity and Achieve Wholeness at Work

Is there a goddess of workplace wellness?

The goddess Eudaemonia rules workplace wellness and leads you to balance with Self. The Greek word and goddess Eudaemonia means balance, joy, contentment and wellness.

Workplace wellness is not a meditation center down the hall or a gym or lunchroom stocked with organic juices. Workplace wellness is showing up as a whole person, learning to work on both your mental and physical self while at work, internally, with techniques that demonstrate how everyone is on the same team.

In 2012, Google launched an initiative called Project Aristotle. They wanted to know what made a healthy workplace. Lessons are that no one wants to put on a "work face." and no one wants to leave a part of their personality and inner life at home. Why would you want to when one of the key components of work is to sort through stuff and cultivate your inner life? Lastly, people want to have hard conversations. Get comfortable in the discomfort. The most sacred space is work, because it's where we spend most of our waking hours. Teaching eudaemonia through proper management of energy is key and takes no time away from the work day, rather enhances it. Workplace wellness is saying, I know how to manage my energy, my time and my resources. If you don't know how to navigate your energy correctly, you're going to feel like your boundaries have been violated and can lead you to sickness. Eudaemonia is gaining clarity on your larger vision, mission and values and how this fits into the workplace. You will flourish healthfully when you live these virtuous traits and can view these mirrored in others, engage with others meaningfully rather than feeling separated from the team. This book will teach the highlights of the Chocolate Chip Theory of Leadership and how to bring your whole self to work and achieve eudaemonia in the workplace making the environment and the team reach its highest potential.
