It's not your workload—it's your thoughtload.

In Thoughtload, New York Times bestselling author and business advisor Liane Davey tackles today's pressing management challenge: overloaded systems, team burnout, and falling productivity—even as leadership demands more. Davey argues the problem isn't workload but thoughtload—the cumulative cognitive and emotional burden worsened by declining energy.

This prescriptive guide lays out steps to reduce thoughtload, helping you and your team focus and get more done. Manage your attention to achieve deep concentration and accomplishment, be more present, sleep better, and control your mood and productivity. Learn to direct energy wisely and coach your team to do the same.

Designed for busy managers, with humour and levity, Thoughtload is a potent handbook for leading calmly and effectively amidst chaos.
