Some office workers love their jobs, but the harsh reality is that countless others experience office life as completely unnatural and unrelenting - especially in today's difficult work culture. How you feel about your office job may depend on how well you're able to tolerate an artificial environment and a feeling of being disconnected from the outside world for the better part of your day. It used to be that office misfits would switch jobs until they found the right fit - but that is not always possible, particularly in a down economy.

Cindy Glovinsky helps readers feel happier and healthier at work, while providing hundreds of great tips and tricks for organizing, connecting with colleagues, and making positive changes in the workplace. Glovinsky's expertise as a psychotherapist, organizer, and administrative professional makes her uniquely qualified to provide solutions for readers who are feeling the office blues.

Glovinksy shows readers how to:
1) Take control of an excessive workload
2) Navigate the "boss from hell" relationship
3) Organize paper and email files once and for all.

Industry Reviews

"With its focus on workers' health and happiness, and emphasis on quality of life, MAKING PEACE WITH YOUR OFFICE LIFE is just the book for those who want to work to live rather than live to work. Read it and turn your office upside down!" --John de Graaf, executive director of Take Back Your Time and coauthor of Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic

"What makes this book so useful is the way that Glovinsky invites, inspires, and informs employees about changes they can make to transform their workplaces into situations in which they can thrive." --Jane Dutton, distinguished professor of Business Administration and Psychology, University of Michigan
