Review

"Robinson manages to cut to the heart of so many of today's problems and offers practical suggestions for those of us who have suffered from work addiction. A sober voice in a work-delirious culture." -Patricia Love Ed.D, co-author of Hot Monogamy "Workaholics, their families, friends, and colleagues will welcome this comprehensive guide book. Robinson approaches workaholism with pragmatic and effective strategies designed to overcome the resistance with which most workaholics greet attempts to change them. This is also the first book I know of to look closely at the effect of workaholism on family members and children, the people who often feel most strongly its effects." -John Bradshaw, author of Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child "An important resource for everyone concerned with the damage workaholism causes to self, family and career." -Gayle Porter
