BCom alum Chris Bailey's new book will guide you to a more productive life

The Sprott School is kicking off 2016 with a special Sprott Topics event that is sure to help improve your productivity this year. BCom alum and author of The Productivity Project Chris Bailey is coming home to Sprott to share tips and strategies to live more productively.

When he graduated from the Sprott School of Business in 2013, Chris Bailey turned down two great job offers to dedicate an entire year to learning everything he could about productivity, a passion of his that started when he was in high school.

Throughout the year, Chris researched extensively, conducted experiments on himself and interviewed many masters of productivity. He tested every productivity technique he could find or dream up.

Chris blogged about everything he was learning and was soon drawing attention from major media outlets, including CBC, CTV, The New York Times, Fast Company, New York Magazine, TED, and many others. His blog, renamed A Life of Productivity, is read by 200,000 people around the world.

Last Fall, Chris teamed up with Penguin Random House to write and publish a guidebook to living a more productive life. The Productivity Project hit bookstores today in Canada and the United States.

Chris’s book is already receiving rave reviews. Fortune named it one of three must-read books in 2016.

On Tuesday, January 19, Chris will share his productivity tips and advice at the Sprott Topics Speakers Series.

The Sprott Topics Speakers Series is supported in part by RBC Foundation.
