About this episode

What if the key to getting more done isn’t working harder—but stepping away more often? In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul welcomes back author and productivity expert John Briggs to challenge the hustle culture mindset. Drawing from his book The 3.3 Rule, and the soon-to-be-released “Take Breaks Work Better“, John explains how intentional, brain-healthy breaks can actually increase focus, performance, and overall productivity. If you’ve been pushing through long hours thinking that’s the path to success, this conversation offers a refreshing—and research-backed—alternative. It may be time to work less, recharge more, and accomplish better results on purpose.
