About the Author: Greg Marcus, Ph.D. is a recovering workaholic who helps the chronically overworked find life balance through his writing, public speaking, and personal coaching. For a time Dr. Greg worked 90 hours a week, which impacted his personal health and family relationships. Then, he cut his working hours by a third, and at the same time accelerated his career. The secret? He rejected his corporate idolatry, and started putting people first. Dr. Greg has done some cool things in his life. As a graduate student at MIT, he helped uncover the basic mechanisms of gene regulation in brewers yeast. As a product manager in the genomics industry, he managed a product line that went from zero to $60 million revenue in three years. And, this product line changed the world of human genetics, with over 1500 published discoveries only five years after it's release. Dr. Greg left the corporate world for a life as a consultant, speaker, author, and stay-at-home dad. In 2013, he founded the Idolbuster Coaching Institute, which is dedicated to helping the chronically overworked find life balance. Dr. Greg lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, two daughters, and two cats.
