Are you ready to transform your working life in 2023? Perhaps you're seeking to stop catastrophizing over small mistakes, cultivate a better job/life balance, or discover new strategies to cope with a challenging boss.

If you're looking for a fresh approach to handling office politics, this book may well provide the answers you're seeking.

You may not realize it, but every day at work, you replay and re-enact conflicts, dynamics, and relationships from your past. Whether it's confusing an authority figure with a parent, avoiding conflict due to past squabbles with siblings, or suffering from imposter syndrome due to how your family responded to success, when it comes to work, we are all trapped in our own upbringings and the patterns of behavior we learned while growing up.

Many of us spend eighteen formative years or more living with family and building our personality; however, most of us also spend fifty years or 90,000 hours in the workplace. With the pull of the familial so strong, we unconsciously re-enact our personal past in our professional present, even when it holds us back.

Through intimate stories, fascinating insights, and provocative questions, business psychotherapist Naomi Shragai will revolutionize how you think about yourself and your working life. Based on thirty years of expertise and practice, Shragai will show you that what is holding you back is within your gift to change—and the first step is to realize how you, like the rest of the people you work with, habitually confuse your professional present with your personal past.

In this book, you'll discover:

- The impact of childhood experiences on our professional behavior
- How to identify and overcome patterns of behavior that are holding you back
- Strategies for cultivating a better work/life balance
