The Problem of “Sleepwalking”

Joan Marques

Chapter 2 in Leadership and Mindful Behavior, 2014, pp 19-35 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Sleepwalking is what we do when we go through the motions, day after day, year after year, without really questioning ourselves or our circumstances. In professional terms, it is an enduring, mindless way of performing for a paycheck to pay the bills and hopefully have some extra spending money left. When you sleepwalk, you do not wonder about whether what you do is in line with what you like and, if not, how you could change it. In personal terms, it is a mindless way of dwelling, year after year, in a relationship, neighborhood, or other situation without any reflection or effort to change.
