Cheers to Monday

If you've ever woken up on a Monday already exhausted or spent Sunday night bracing yourself for the week ahead, the problem isn't you--the problem is work. In Cheers to Monday: The Surprisingly Simple Method to Lead and Live with Less Stress and More Joy , Amy Leneker, a former C-suite executive and now a trusted leadership advisor to Fortune 100 companies and public sector organizations, reveals a liberating truth: stress isn't the price of success, it's the thief that steals it. Throughout Cheers to Monday , you'll get the same coaching and science-backed strategies Amy shares in boardrooms and at conferences around the world, all of which make up her transformative three-step method: See stress differently to break the cycle of exhaustion, overwhelm, and self-doubt. Sort stress into five clear categories so you know exactly what to do with each one. Solve stress with a simple framework to reclaim your time, energy, and joy. Amy exposes how stress is embedded in today's workplaces--disguised as drive, rewarded as resilience, and praised as passion--when chronic stress actually drains leaders, divides teams, and damages organizations. With sharp wit, refreshing honesty, and laugh-out-loud stories, readers discover that reducing stress isn't simply a wellness strategy, it's a joy strategy. The book uniquely combines real-world examples with actionable techniques to transform how you live, lead, and work. Cheers to Monday is for every employee exhausted by expectations, every team crushing goals while feeling crushed in the process, and every leader quietly falling apart. Whether you're starting your career, climbing the corporate ladder, or building your legacy, these three steps help you break free from stress, rediscover joy, and reclaim the life you were meant to live.
