About this audiobook

You built the machine. You run it well. You are starting to wonder what it is costing you. Nine to Calm follows one manager through five years of early mornings, missed evenings, and a body that kept score while the inbox kept filling. It follows him to Greece, where the machine ran out of fuel for the first time in years. And back — to an office that had not changed, and a person who had. Along the way, he finds three writers who had worked out the same problem two thousand years earlier. Marcus Aurelius ran an empire. Epictetus survived slavery. Seneca argued, in the first century, that the greatest theft in a human life is not money but time — and that most people hand it over willingly. This is not a book about working less. It is a book about working honestly — knowing what you owe the job, what you owe yourself, and where you have been confusing the two.

About the author

Arden Fero

Arden Fero

Most books about modern life give answers before they have understood the question. Arden Fero writes the others. His books take shape in the places where people have to endure what cannot be optimised away: in the mind, in relationships, at work. His path explains the stance. Trained early in the hardness of a professional kitchen, where precision was not a virtue but a condition. Today in technology marketing, where his work is to draw from complexity what actually reaches people. Both worlds taught him the same lesson: the superficial does not last. View all by Arden Fero
