Editorial Review:

Do you feel overwhelmed by your job? Are you so stressed on the job that you can't sleep, have headaches or stomach aches? Do you spend much of your time thinking and talking about your job? Do you feel responsible for everything that goes wrong on the job? Are you loyal to your boss and co-workers, even when they don't deserve it? Do you work well under pressure but have trouble completing long-term projects?

But if you are an Adult Child and have answered yes to most of the above questions, you may be suffering from workaholism, burn-out or other work related problems. This book shows you what to look for and how to make your worklife more satisfying and effective. Annotation Adult Children of dysfunctional families in the workplace lack any sense of balance in their personal or profession lives.

PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO WORK-RELATED PROBLEMS:

If you have been losing jobs despite working "very hard", and you are an ACoA, this is the book that will finally answer the big question of "why! " ACoA's, as explained succinctly yet in detail by Woititz, have ingrained patterns of behavior that result in problems on the job. We can identify these patterns, come to understand where they came from, and finally, do something to change them! This book gave me far more insight than years of counseling - Woititz truly knows the ACoA!
