Synopsis

Control. Jealousy. Mistrust. Intimidation. Although rarely recognized as such, these behaviors can be major occupational hazards. When negative energy pervades our workplace, productivity and creativity are replaced with isolation and insecurity. Cultivating personal growth in such a setting may be challenging, but it is not impossible. Uplifting daily meditations from workplace psychologist Marilyn J. Mason assure us that-regardless of work site, salary, status, or job title-we need not sacrifice our spiritual health for our work life.
