For centuries, wars have been fought between workers and those in power due to the lack of respect for duties performed, earning non-livable wages, and enduring unfavorable work conditions. Even those who have identified their passions and purposes struggle to remain in specific work environments due to mismanagement, lack of integrity, poor treatment, and being overworked. Workers are feeling the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual effects of working in unhealthy environments and are concluding that the price paid isn’t worth the salary earned.

This book is designed to help you analyze how well you are doing in your current workplace situation and career path. It will challenge you to reflect on whether you are honoring your gifts and talents and help you take bold steps to ensure you live a healthy and fulfilled life, releasing yourself from workplace-induced anxiety and stress.
