"Dear Doctor…”

A book written for people who are good at their jobs and still find themselves stuck, tired, or quietly wondering how they can possibly be the problem when they work so hard.

Across ten chapters, entrepreneur and editor Louise Lavaroni asks organizational psychologist Dr Craig Knight the questions that have continually thudded onto her desk:

“Can you achieve promotion without burnout?”
“Why am I working hard and going nowhere?”
“How do I deal with difficult colleagues?”

And the refrain that sings to us all at some point:

“Should I stay or should I go?”

All the answers are grounded in applied evidence, never opinion. Each chapter offers insight, wit and solutions that you can use immediately; and keep using.

This is a clear conversation about the psychology of extraordinary work; the work you do. By the end of each chapter, you will understand how your job affects you, why the usual advice so often fails, and what you can change without waiting for a better boss or a different personality.

If you have ever thought “I should have this figured out by now,” this book is for you.
