Author: Thomas, TamuISBN: 9781401978396Publisher: Hay HouseYear first published: 05 Mar 2024Pages: 288 Format: Paperback / softbackA manifesto for change for women who want to establish healthier boundaries, stop over-committing to work and find their true purpose.A step-by-step guide to breaking out of patterns of toxic productivity, building boundaries for better mental health, avoiding burnout and living joyfully. We have been conditioned into believing our value is in what we do rather than who we are. Do you find yourself saying 'yes' because you were never taught how to say 'no'? Are you working all hours of the day, but not feeling good about your achievements amplifying your perceived mistakes or weaknesses? Many of us believe that to be our best selves we should do more, but the result is often stress, burnout and disillusionment. This book offers a healing hand to help you step out of the same old patterns of using success or overworking as a source of self-validation. For women, work doesn't stop in the workplace. There is a huge load at home that still falls to women - whether looking after children, caring for ageing parents or simply taking the reins of running the household. This is a book for women who work too much. It is for women who are ready to hear the wake-up call coming from within- coming from their frazzled nervous system, from that sense of underlying anxiety they have learnt to normalize over the years, and from an inner knowing that - just maybe - it doesn't have to be this way. Women Who Work Too Much will support you to establish healthier boundaries, stop over-committing and move into a feeling of safety so that you can thrive, prosper and flourish. This book is a manifesto for change and a call to inaction.
