Synopsis

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 Art of War - The Denma...

Denma Translation Group, Sun Tzu

At the core of this ancient strategy manual is the understanding that conflict is an inescapable part of human life. Since, as Sun Tzu teaches, aggression and response in kind can lead only to destruction, we must learn to work with conflict in a more profound and effective way. Crucial to this strategic vision is knowledge—especially self-knowledge—and a view of the whole that seeks to bring conflicting views into a larger perspective. The Denma Translation Group’s presentation of The Art of War is a meticulously faithful version that carefully preserves the enigmatic quality of the original—allowing us to discover innumerable insights in its lines millennia after this oral tradition was first set down. Line-by-line commentary reveals the broader implications of Sun Tzu’s teachings and how they can be applied to everyday circumstances. An abridged audio recording of the book The Art of War (Shambhala Publishing, 2002), Shambhala Lion Editions.
