Screw Meditation!

How to switch off a busy brain, be more productive and enjoy life

UK #1 Best Seller and #1 Hot New Release · USA Top 50, and #10 in Business Management and Leadership · W&M Publishing, 2023.

Two hours and 38 minutes, start to finish, in print or audio. Divided into bite-size chunks for the busy reader, or the busy listener who would rather press play.

You are smart, driven, and successful. You are also always on: 60 to 80 hour weeks, plus evenings, plus weekends, plus holidays. 

Your brain will not switch off, and you have tried everything to quiet it, meditation included, without much luck. 

Failing at meditation only made you feel worse.

Screw Meditation! explains why. 

Screw Meditation! uncovers the link between long hours, poor time management, cognitive impairment, biology, and the emotional drivers underneath it all, and shows you how the cycle of hard work and busyness keeps a smart professional stuck with no time to think strategically. Left unchecked, that cycle feeds imposter syndrome, poor health, and burnout.

Six hacks, road-tested on leaders worldwide, to switch off the busy brain, work better, and enjoy life again. No sitting cross-legged on the floor required.

This book is for you if you say yes to even one of these:

  • You put work before everything, including your partner and kids
  • You keep your phone by the bed and answer emails in front of the TV
  • Your self-worth comes from your success, and failure is not an option
  • Your self-criticism is paralysing, or getting worse
  • You swing between wanting a massive break and wanting to do all the things perfectly, right now

It’s my 18-year anniversary, so I’m giving Screw Meditation! away. Sign up and I’ll send you a copy.

Change Your Life in 5

Practical Steps to Making Meaningful Changes in Your Life

Welbeck Publishing, 2020 · A Business Book Awards finalist for Personal Development and Wellbeing

A write-in workbook for anyone who feels stuck and wants more from life but has no idea where to start.

Across five colour-coded sections, the book asks you to Clarify, Conquer, Choose, Celebrate, and Commit.

Using visualisations and exercises, you’ll get clear on what you really want and what’s most important to you, conquer the fears and self-sabotaging voices that hold you back, take on new perspectives, and learn to celebrate your wins, embrace gratitude, and sidestep imposter syndrome. Plus strategies to put everything you have learned into action.

Change Your Life in 5 blends practical coaching techniques and somatics with neuroscience and leadership theory, drawn from Sue’s own experience, training, and years of working with clients.

The foreword is by Karen Kimsey-House, co-founder of the Co-Active Training Institute.
