9781946533098: Miserable@work: Stop Blaming the Job and Fix What's Really Broken

Synopsis

Millions of people feel dissatisfied and depressed about their jobs, yet curiously many still like what they are doing.

Their complaints are almost always about "the other stuff" that causes their distress. These other factors include clashes with internal and external bureaucracy, micromanaging supervision, lack of participation in decisions, and uncertatinty about their job security.

The irony about Miserable@Work is that resolving our distress on the job is often achieved after hours.

Join Dr. Will for an engaging and often self-deprecating look at how we misdirect our energies and discover a realistic approach to finding relief from the stress of your job.

"America's funniest stress shrink has an important message." - Bob and Tom Syndicated Radio Show
