Busy isn’t bet­ter. It’s time to break free from the cycle of sim­ply ​“get­ting stuff done.” If you end each day feel­ing unful­filled — con­stant­ly busy but nev­er mak­ing time for what tru­ly mat­ters — you’re expe­ri­enc­ing time pover­ty. You’re not alone. Cor­po­rate per­for­mance expert Peg­gy Sul­li­van, a recov­er­ing ​“busy­ness addict,” knows this strug­gle first­hand. Her relent­less dri­ve led to burnout, anx­i­ety, divorce, two totaled cars, a heart attack, and even mis­tak­en­ly eat­ing cat food. Deter­mined to find a bet­ter way, she dis­cov­ered the sweet spot where pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, hap­pi­ness, and self-care can coex­ist. Her jour­ney led to a pow­er­ful frame­work that has helped indi­vid­u­als, entre­pre­neurs, non­prof­its, and For­tune 500 com­pa­nies — includ­ing Google, Bank of Amer­i­ca, and Blue Cross Blue Shield — shift from over­whelm­ing busy­ness to pur­pose­ful liv­ing. Ground­ed in research, includ­ing insights from the 2023 Busy Report, her three-step ​“Busy-Bust­ing Process” elim­i­nates unin­ten­tion­al busy­ness, fuels hap­pi­ness, and unlocks a more mean­ing­ful life. Beyond Busy­ness offers a data-backed, action­able approach to achiev­ing peak per­for­mance, self-care, and hap­pi­ness — with­out sac­ri­fic­ing one for the other.
