Amazing
“Say goodbye to Monday Blues” by Surajeet Roy is a useful guide for those seeking to improve their job satisfaction and find meaning in their work.
Roy presents a simple yet effective framework, the Work Life Connect (WLC) Program, which consists of two steps and three tools that individuals can use to achieve success in their careers.
The first step involves finding the larger context of one’s job and setting a personal mission or goal around it. This helps individuals to connect with their work on a deeper level and find meaning in what they do.
The second step involves using three tools – the productivity tool, the value tool, and the strategy tool – to achieve their personal mission and become successful in their job in a way that they start to enjoy it.
What I appreciated most about the book was the author’s emphasis on authenticity over perfection. Roy encourages readers to be true to themselves and their values, rather than trying to conform to an ideal of what success should look like. This approach is refreshing and empowering, as it allows individuals to define success on their own terms and find fulfilment in their work and life.
The book is also filled with practical tips and examples that readers can apply to their own lives. Roy draws on his own experiences as a CEO and leadership expert, as well as case studies from other successful individuals, to illustrate his points and provide real-world examples of how the WLC program can be implemented.
However, there were a few areas where I felt the book could have been improved. The writing style is somewhat dry and academic, which may be off-putting to some readers.
Additionally, the book could have benefitted from more concrete strategies for dealing with common workplace issues, such as difficult bosses or overwhelming workloads.
Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for guidance on how to find meaning and fulfilment in their work. The WLC program is a useful framework that can be adapted to any job or career path, and the book provides valuable insights and practical advice for implementing it in one’s own life.

Amazing
One of the interesting aspects of the book’s perspective on work-life balance is the emphasis on spirituality. The author argues that by connecting with one’s inner spirituality, individuals can achieve a greater sense of fulfilment and purpose in their work and personal life. This perspective is not often seen in traditional discussions of work-life balance, which tend to focus on time management, stress reduction, and achieving a sense of balance between work and personal obligations. The book’s approach, which is grounded in the idea that we are all part of a larger universe and that our individual uniqueness is a reflection of the universe’s desire to experience itself, provides a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on this important topic.
Another important aspect of the book’s perspective is its emphasis on non-competitiveness. The author suggests that recognizing one’s unique role in the universe and understanding that there is enough abundance for everyone can lead to a greater sense of peace and balance in one’s work and personal life. This is a refreshing perspective in a world that often places a premium on competition and achievement at all costs. By embracing a more collaborative and cooperative mindset, individuals can reduce stress and achieve a greater sense of balance and fulfilment in their lives.
Overall, the book’s perspective on work-life balance is unique and thought-provoking. By emphasizing spirituality, individual uniqueness, and non-competitiveness, the book offers a refreshing approach to achieving a sense of balance and fulfilment in both work and personal life.
