Finding Work That Works for You
Book • 2024
In 'Job Therapy: Finding Work That Works for You', Dr. Tessa West helps readers understand the deeper psychological reasons behind their job dissatisfaction.

Through her research, which includes interviews with thousands of people who have recently switched jobs or undergone career changes, she identifies five common sources of career frustration: identity crisis, drifting-apart, torn between places, runner up, and underappreciated star.

The book provides a working week audit to help readers identify their unique psychological stressors and offers insights on networking and hiring to help them find a career that aligns with their needs and aspirations.
