About this title

Synopsis

Reveals why an increasing number of successful young professionals are complaining about dissatisfaction with their lives and, using case studies, offers help in understanding what is needed for sanity in the emotional battleground of the modern work place

Reviews

This book focuses on the current generation of "careerists," that is, people who define themselves in terms of their careers. Using a case history method, it depicts both sick individuals with "surface sanity" and the healthier but less well adjusted "working wounded"those with grave discontents about their careers, however successful. Professionals may find the case histories brief, repetitive, and superficial, but the book will appeal to laypersons by addressing an often neglected aspect of mental health in a simple, jargon-free manner. Further, by raising questions about the absence of values and fulfillment for today's success-driven careerist, it begins a much-needed examination of an imbalance within society itself.
