Bitesize Moment: "It Makes My Heart Happy." — Prof Robert Kelly on Real Work-Life Balance

In this bitesize moment pulled from the Laura Dowling Experience back catalogue, Prof Robert Kelly admits he lost his own balance after a TED Talk and book launch, then shares the pillars-of-life exercise and a patient's story that helped him refocus on family and friends.

What happens when a cardiologist looks at his own heart health and realises the answer isn't his diet, it's his diary?

🔑Key Points

• A busy run of a TED Talk, a book launch and Christmas left him with no space in his day for three months

• Taking one full week off showed him just how stretched he had become

• He learned a pillars-of-life exercise from another doctor's podcast: financial health, family, friends, own health and work

• Looking at his own pillars, he realised work was crowding out everything else, especially his own health
