Titelbeschreibung

Does the early bird always catch the worm? Society largely praises early risers while maligning so-called "night owls." However, countless research studies have shown that night owls are more successful and wealthier than early risers. The Morning Myth proves that indeed, night owls are generally more successful in life than early risers. It restores night owls’ self-confidence, and encourages them to achieve more on their natural schedules. In The Morning Myth, Frank J. Rumbauskas provides practical tips to help night owls thrive: • Informs employers about how much productivity they're losing by forcing night owls to be at work bright and early • Offers advice on how to schedule both early risers and night owls for maximum productivity • Shows night owls how to achieve maximum happiness at work • Coaches managers on getting the most out of their night owl employees Whether you’re a night owl yourself, or employ those who find their work “mojo” later in the day, The Morning Myth breaks down stereotypes and shows you how to increase productivity around the clock.

THE GUIDE FOR EMBRACING YOUR INNER NIGHT OWL! ''Night owls overall are more successful than morning people! At a minimum, I assumed we all performed the same overall, but merely at different times. The reality, however, is that night owls are more prosperous in general. . . So if you've been self-conscious about your night owl-ness, or suffer from low self-confidence and are tired of the criticism that far too many morning people throw at us, rest assured. You now know that you're at a distinct advantage over them, and now you're going to learn how to use your night owl tendencies to get ahead, be successful, and, as Ben Franklin put it, to be a healthy, wealthy, and wise night owl! I wish you all the best and am glad that you're also a part of the night owl family!" —FROM THE INTRODUCTION The Morning Myth is filled with scientific research that proves night owls are more productive and successful than their early riser counterparts. If you are a night owl, you can stop feeling out of step with the rest of the world, and join the night owl revolution. In this book, Frank J. Rumbauskas supports his commonsense approach with compelling research, helps night owls realize their potential, and gives them the confidence to achieve more on their natural schedules.
