Summary

Workaholism explores the complex issue of work addiction, distinguishing it from healthy dedication and highlighting its detrimental effects on individuals and organizations. It examines how our always-on culture, fueled by technology, can blur the lines between professional commitment and personal well-being, often leading to increased stress and burnout. The book argues that workaholism is driven by internal compulsions rather than external demands, challenging the notion that long hours automatically equate to success.

The book presents a structured approach, first defining workaholism and exploring its psychological underpinnings, drawing from areas like attachment theory and personality psychology to explain why some individuals are more prone to work addiction. It then examines organizational factors contributing to the problem. For example, workplace culture plays a significant role. Supported by research and case studies from diverse industries, it offers strategies for both individuals and organizations to foster a healthier work-life balance, emphasizing employee well-being and productivity.

Finally, the book provides practical, evidence-based solutions for managing and preventing workaholism. It includes self-assessment tools and coping strategies, empowering readers to recognize and address their own workaholic tendencies. Managers and HR professionals can utilize the book’s insights to cultivate healthier workplace environments and implement policies that support employee well-being. By challenging the glorification of overwork and offering actionable advice, this book serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and combat work addiction.

The Eighth Vessel - Achieving...

Jenna Zwagil

What If You Could Unlock the Secrets of the Universe?
In this follow-up to her first book, Breaking All the Rules, author Jenna Zwagil teaches readers to follow all the laws.
Imagine being forced to play a game without knowing any of the rules. Or buying a piece of complicated machinery without being given an operator’s manual.
That’s how most people live their lives. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
The Universal Laws are based on Hermetic philosophies, written about thousands of years ago, in ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and many other cultures. Even when the knowledge of these laws disappeared from society, as they did for multiple centuries, they resurfaced again and again. They are universal—so it doesn't matter if you agree with them; like gravity, they don’t require your belief to work.
You can ignore these laws all you want, but eventually, there will come a time in your life where either consciously or unconsciously you will have to be in harmony with them to sustain a peaceful, growth-driven life.
The Seven Universal Laws:The Law of MentalismThe Law of CorrespondenceThe Law of VibrationThe Law of PolarityThe Law of RhythmThe Law of Cause and EffectThe Law of Gender
This unique, fast-paced, unforgettable fable invites you on a journey of profound truths through the eyes of accidental time-traveler Lindsey Moore as she discovers the transformative power of the laws that govern our existence in a most unexpected way.
Get ready to be whisked away to a time long ago to learn the laws. This is the cosmic owner's manual you were never given.
Until now.

Something for Nothing -...

Maureen O'Hara

In 2001, Goldman Sachs structured a complex financial contract so that its client, the government of Greece, would appear to have far less debt than it actually did. When news of this transaction came out years later, the inevitable question arose: Even though Goldman's actions were legal, were they ethically wrong? Is modern finance itself inherently unethical? 
 
 
 
In Something for Nothing, financial economist Maureen O'Hara explains that one of the key innovations of modern finance is its reliance on arbitrage, the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets to generate profits and remove inefficiencies. When done correctly, arbitrage can create value at little or no cost (in effect, getting "something for nothing"); but it can also be an exploitative tool. 
 
 
 
In a lucid, insightful discussion of the ethics of arbitrage in modern finance, O'Hara reveals how the rules can often be stretched into still-legal yet highly unethical business practices. Examining key cases in clear and persuasive prose, O'Hara illuminates various aspects of financial ethics, from the Goldman Greek transaction to Lehman Brothers' attempt to cover up its debt, JPMorgan Chase's maneuvers in California's energy markets, Bernie Madoff's trading strategies in the 1980s, high-frequency trading practices, and toxic loans in France.
