‘Only when I, like Bryan Robinson, was forced by one too many
episodes of burnout to uncover childhood sadnesses did I begin to
see work as an irreplaceable part of my life, but not the whole of
my life. And only then did I begin to focus on what I could
uniquely do instead of trying to do everything—thus beginning to be
far more effective as a worker.’
—Gloria Steinem activist/politician, from Overdoing It: How to Slow
Down and Take Care of Yourself (Deerfield Beach, FL: HCI
Publications, 1992, p. x). ‘I have been a work addict since I was a
really young person and because it has been so praised in culture,
it took me a long time to frame it as the corrosive addiction it is
and find ways to enter into recovery. It is a primary addiction for
me, and finding Bryan Robinson saved my life!’
—Alanis Morissette, singer/songwriter from the podcast,
‘Conversations with Alanis Morissette’, (Alanis.com, January,
2018). ‘Perhaps the biggest challenge to practicing mindfulness is
being mindful enough to remember to be mindful. Bryan Robinson has
solved that problem by offering daily tidbits of insight,
encouragement, and advice to remind us to focus on what’s important
in our busy lives. Reading each day’s reflection is a step toward
greater clarity, balance, contentment, and peace.’ – Mark R. Leary,
Ph.D., Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University
‘The suffering of addiction runs deep and wide in this world; work
addiction, in particular, is an important and underestimated one.
I’m truly grateful to Bryan Robinson for bringing it to greater
awareness.’ – Tara Brach, Ph.D., author of Radical Acceptance;
