| About This Book
It’s not easy to tell others how to be happy at work, especially people who feel as if they’re living in a career combat zone. I know the battleground well. For the past 20 years, I’ve been a career counselor, psychotherapist, and corporate outplacement consultant. In that time, I’ve seen more casualties of the career wars than most people experience in a lifetime. I know what it takes to be happy with your work. But I also know there’s no simple formula to achieve career success and satisfaction.
The workplace is chaotic. If you’re like most people, you probably feel that you’re living a career nightmare: working harder to make a living with fewer available resources, more demands on your time, and lots of disincentives to achievement. Perhaps you fantasize about chucking the whole scene. Right about now, life on the golf course, ski slopes, or a sandy beach can look mighty appealing.
Maybe you just need a good, long vacation. You don’t want to drop out of the workforce altogether, but you’re hungering for a new adventure. You want more control over your time and your destiny. Your rallying cry is More Freedom, Less Office Politics! |
