Beskrivelse
An ';intimate, intensely resonant memoir about workaholism, unresolved trauma, and the ';addictive nature of ambition'' (Harper's Bazaar), this is an anti-girlboss tale for our times for readers of Drinking: A Love Story and Uncanny Valley.After years of relentlessly racing up the professional ladder, Jennifer Romolini reached the kind of success many crave: a high-profile, C-suite dream job, a book well-received enough that reporters wanted to know the secrets to her success, and a gig traveling around the country giving speeches on ';making it.' But beneath this polished surface was a powder keg of unresolved trauma and chronic overwork. It was all about to blow. Ambition Monster is a gutsy and powerful look at workaholism, the lingering effect of childhood trauma, and the failures of our modern rat race. This is a Cinderella story of success and a brutal appraisal of the cost of capitalismperfect for people pleasers, overachievers, and those whose traumas have driven them to be perfect, no matter the cost. ';If you find yourself on the other end of burnout, trying desperately to figure out a new way forwardwow, is this book for you' (Anne Helen Petersen, author of Can't Even).
