Rabbi Greg Marcus—Crazy-Busy Jews: Overcoming a Crazy-Busy Life as a Professional Using Applied Jewish Wisdom

Are you working more than you should? It is easy to fall prey to the myth that more work is the best way to get ahead. But too often instead of promotions or recognition, we just end up burned out. As counterintuitive as it seems, working less is the key to a higher profile and more successful career.

Join recovering workaholic Rabbi Dr. Greg Marcus for a highly interactive series that applies Jewish wisdom and proven techniques to help your career while reducing stress. At one time he was working 90 hours a week in a high-profile position in the genomics industry. When he started putting boundaries on his work, and putting people first in his life, his career started to thrive. If you think you don't have time for this class, you probably need it the most!

No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
