Work has always meant survival of the human race - a necessary and
important part of our lives. Today it is no longer necessary-as it
was in former times-that we work all day long, yet we still live in
an age when work, mentally and in terms of time, is a big part of
our lives.Most people know what it means to be up to one's neck in
work, and having to work overtime during a busy period at work.
Suddenly a large number of tasks have to be solved, a deadline has
to be kept, or a certain project demands a lot of time. Many people
may also have experienced their work taking control of them, and
all of a sudden you felt like there was no time for anything
else.In a simple language the author introduces us to the work
addiction which many of us have come into contact with, and she
describes what signs to be aware of and what you should do if work
has taken control of you, your friend, your colleague, or your
partner.The book describes how to define work addiction, who is
most likely to be afflicted by it, and how it shows itself. The
book also pinpoints the different causes of work addiction and the
consequences it can have for the individual, for the family, and
for the workplace. Stress, one of the problems connected with work
addiction is also discussed.The book serves as an introduction to
an, as yet, rather unexplored area, and it speaks to people who
work professionally with working environments, and people who have
themselves experienced, or know of people who have experienced how
work took control of their lives.
