Working With You is Killing Me: Freeing Yourself from Emotional Traps at Work

Image

Description
For anyone trapped in an energy-zapping relationship with a co-worker, boss or subordinate, Crowley and Elster offer an exit strategy—a highly practical and easily implemented guide to making the situation workable. Looking at the workplace from every employee's perspective, Crowley, a Harvard-trained psychotherapist, and Elster, an entrepreneurial consultant, have created a book as valuable to readers on the top rungs of the corporate ladder as it is to those near the bottom. Readers in the throes of a work crisis can find a relevant case study to lead them to relief from any situation. Whether the problem's a charming and demanding boss, dealing with a saboteur or addressing one's own inclination to play the office martyr, the authors offer frameworks for breaking down the conflict and achieving détente. They even detail the inevitable verbal confrontation. Supervisors are provided suggestions for "parenting" employees who chronically underachieve or disappoint to help them live up to expectation, or at least their job descriptions. This empowering book delivers a sense of control over nasty workplace situations. It may also offer the answer to high job turnover

"I don't want to quit my job; I want to quit my manager (or coworker)." If this statement rings true to you, then this guide is exactly what you need to separate yourself from the toxic relationship that is ruining your job. The authors call the experience of being caught in an emotionally distressing situation at work being "hooked," and they provide tools to unhook physically, mentally, and emotionally. They define some of the roles that we play, such as hero, caretaker, rebel, martyr, peacemaker, or entertainer. Playing a role is a hook, too, because it holds us back from realizing our true potential. We naturally fall into certain roles, and the authors provide ways to break out of our comfort zone to expand and thrive at work. The guide is short on analysis and long on ideas and examples to help you survive in the often-claustrophobic space called "the office." Harvard-trained psychotherapist Crowley and small-business expert Elster are published authors, educators, consultants, and seasoned guides in the area of professional fulfillment through self-awareness.

Secrets To Peak Performance Fitness and Secrets To Peak Performance Life

Image
From Garrett J. Braunreiter
What’s In These Books, How To Use Them, Why I Wrote Them Losing weight and getting fit goes beyond, WAY beyond just dieting and exercising. Unfortunately, most people don’t see it that way. Or maybe they do, but the power of instant gratification overrides any creative, solution-oriented thinking. The multi-billion dollar weight loss industry is all about “Lose weight – NOW!” with apparent apathy toward the long-term health of their customers.

I wrote this book, my first, with this objective in mind: not only do I want for you to lose 10, 20, 50 or more pounds, double, even triple your energy levels, and have an unstoppable attitude, I want you to make and keep more money, get more done in less time, feel better physically and mentally, substantially increase the quality of your life, and eliminate the hassles of life.

That’s a lot, yes? But you can have this kind of life. You see, when you take care of yourself physically, you’re better able to service others, faster and easier, and with no resentment. In other words, I want you to PUT YOURSELF FIRST. It’s about time, wouldn’t you say? I mean, you’re running around like a maniac taking care of everybody and everything BUT yourself, and you’ve paid dearly: out of shape, down in the dumps, lousy attitude, starting and stopping diet and exercise plans, getting more discouraged, more out of shape, self-esteem down the drain. It’s a vicious cycle. But no more.

Taking care of yourself means fueling your body, challenging it physically, and growing and developing personally and professionally. Hey, we all want to achieve more, more easily, don’t we? We want more time, more money, more love, more fulfillment, more things, a better body. But you just can’t do that by only working out and watching what you eat. That’s only a part of the whole “You” package. Let’s look at this another way. If you are the most fit of fit people, and your diet is impeccable, but your life stinks, you’re more than likely not going to be Mr. or Ms. Super-Fit for very long. Conversely, if you have a great life but you let yourself go physically and your health deteriorates, how can you possibly enjoy this wonderful life with any energy to do the things you want to do? That is my approach to looking and feeling your best. To cover all the bases, so to speak, in achieving total physical, mental, personal, and professional development. Hence, these books.
