这本书是写给所有想要更聪明地工作与生活的女生们。我们是不是该开始质疑高生产力=成功的旧想法？这是一本能帮助你放大你的才能、增强你的生产力以及改善你的工作与生活平衡的书。女人应该将自己摆在第一，这样才能更聪明的工作，不再为了无效以及无意义的工作浪费时间精力。

不论我们往哪里看，各处都充满了对女人的矛盾又无理的要求。我们要自觉，但不能太自觉。我们要有成就，但不能太自傲。我们要扮演母亲的角色，但在工作上绝对不行。要做个领导，但不能太刻薄。要打败我们的对手，但也要给对方留面子。难怪女人总觉得生活好累！我们需要平衡工作、家庭生活、生育、男性主义以及自己的心理健康。我们从一开始就被灌输一个思考模式：要努力、要拼命、要持久、要早到晚退、要牺牲自己的私人生活、要同时顾很多不同事情。结果是什么？女人心身灵都被烧坏了。

我们需要更聪明的生活，而不是更拼命的生活。这本书会重新介绍给你生产力、效率以及成功的定义。更聪明的工作，你才能拥有长久、能持续的成功。

关于作者：

Emily Margaret Austen (yes, descendant of that Austen) founded EMERGE PR in 2012 when she was just 22, using the £250 she'd earned from selling clothes on eBay, after she graduated from Manchester University with a Masters in Criminology (natch). Fast forward 12 years - not to mention £1.5 million lost in 48-hours as Covid hit - and Emerge is now one of the leading global PR companies working with the likes of Spanx, Huel, the Soho House Group, Red Bull, Dyson and Bumble (to name just a few). Emily has also guest-lectured at Harvard and is the Strategic PR Advisor to UN Women UK. She has just been offered weekly online columns with Sheerluxe and Stylist.
