Divorcing Your Job: A Guide for the Recovering High Performer: Healing from Overachieving, Career Enmeshment, and Finding Who You Are Without Your Job - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Your job title is the first thing you say at parties.

Your worth rises and falls with your last performance review. You answer emails at midnight, call it "ambition," and quietly wonder who you'd even be without the work.

This is career enmeshment — when your identity and your job have fused so completely that slowing down feels like disappearing. It isn't laziness you need to fix. It's a self that got quietly outsourced to your work.

"Divorcing Your Job" is not another list of "set boundaries" and "practice self-care" platitudes. It's a clear, compassionate guide for the recovering high performer — the overachiever, the workaholic, the one burning out while everyone calls you "driven."

Inside, you'll work through:

• Why high performers burn out — the psychology of overwork, perfectionism, and self-worth tied to output
• How to recover from work stress and exhaustion without blowing up your career
• Untangling your identity from your job title — who you are when you're not producing
• Building a life, and a sense of self, with room for rest instead of only results

Whether you're deep in burnout, dreading Monday, or just sensing that "successful" has started to feel empty, this book helps you come home to a self that exists beyond the work.

You are not your job. This is how you remember that.
