How to Work Without Losing Your Mind

Welcome back to the office! It's what we've all been waiting for since the beginning of the pandemic - or is it?

Have we all conveniently forgotten how profoundly irritating our colleagues can be? Have the memories of maddening bosses slipped from our memories (or more likely been deliberately scrubbed)? And now, our home working hybrid hell makes juggling family and work even more terrifying.

*So how do we balance success and work with sanity?

• Whether you're drowning in a toxic working environment, battling burnout, recovering from redundancy or furlough, or just struggling to figure out what you actually want from your career, Cate Sevilla is here to help coach you through the shittiness of your working day, and help you shift your relationship with your career.

Drawing on her time working in both giant corporations and scrappy startups, Cate Sevilla is a voice of reason, guiding you through every shitstorm you'll ever face, whether you're:

• feeling overwhelmed by your workload
• trying to get out of a job you hate
• battling a micromanager who seems determined to destroy you
• struggling to stay motivated
• or bouncing back from failure

If you've spent your day ugly crying with your colleagues or flat-out exhausted from endless video calls, this book is your well-earned (gin and) tonic at the end of the day.

Bosses are maddening. Colleagues are profoundly irritating. And balancing family and work is daunting. So how do we balance success with sanity? How do we progress without burning out?

Whether you're drowning in a toxic working environment, battling burnout, recovering from redundancy, or just struggling to figure out what you actually want from your career, Cate Sevilla is here to help coach you through the shittiness of your work day, and help you shift your relationship with your career.

Having worked at giant corporations like Google (where her days consisted of aggressive bosses, complimentary pastries and lots of tears) and scrappy start-ups like The Pool (where she was Editor-in-Chief when it all went pear-shaped), Cate Sevilla has laboured through a lot of stressful and downright ridiculous work situations so that you don't have to.

Drawing from lessons learned in her career and interviews with other women, How to Work Without Losing Your Mind is a relatable and reassuring guide to the messy, stressful and sometimes bizarre side of work that everyone experiences but no one talks about.

It'll be your tonic after a long, hard working week, where you've ugly cried with your colleagues and are exhausted from endless video calls - and are wondering what the hell to do next.
