Counterbalance: How to build your career without ruining your life

As you would hope from the title, this book strikes an excellent balance between the intellectual and the emotional. It is full of great advice about how to not only survive, but truly thrive both in your career and in life. However, as someone who has been around the block a few times with self-development, it was the chapters which speak more directly to Mr. Shaw's unique experiences raising a neuro-diverse child and overcoming severe hurdles on the path to building a truly remarkable career which really moved and inspired me.

This is such a heartwarming and insightful book. Tom Shaw has written a real page turner, its both incredibly personal yet well researched, highlighting the ups and downs he has faced throughout his life trying to achieve counterbalance. It differs from other books that might encourage you to lower your ambitions in our complicated lives, not so here, this is a great companion when you are trying to get some much needed life perspective.

This is a really great read, well structured, it flows well and I felt it could be described much more as a life coaching book with many thought provoking life lessons within its pages.

Tom is a highly experienced, insightful and genuine person. He has faced into challenges in his personal and professional life with vigour and determination. That he has paused to capture all of this in his new book is something he should be very proud of. The book is laced with experience and lessons for us all. Well done Tom, keep shining !

An excellent book to help with you on your career path and your life path. A lot of things get thrown at you all the time and this helped set my mind straight and move forward
