Title: Married to the Job: Why We Live to Work and What We Can Do About It by Ilene Philipson ISBN: 0-7432-1578-8 Publisher: Free Press Pub. Date: 05 September, 2002 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Insightful and highly relevant
Comment: This work by Ilene Philipson tackles the American epidemic of emotional over-investment in the workplace. She makes the case for the growth of the problem, then follows with analysis of the causes and the implications of this pervasive cultural change from both individual and social perspectives. She illustrates the book throughout with cases from her clinical counseling practice.
I respectfully disagree with the prior reviewer who suggests that this book is for women only. I and several of my male friends have read the book and found it informative and useful in thinking through our professional situations and personal attitudes toward work.
I highly recommend this book to anyone, male or female, who is asking themselves hard questions about why they or someone they care about has been working so hard for so long and not really understanding why they're doing it.

Summary: More for women than for men.....
Comment: If you're a man and you'd like some perspective on why you work as much as you do----don't buy this book. The author admits that 85% of her clients are women, so perhaps the information is helpful if you are female. But for me (a man) it missed the mark as to why men work so much and what we can do to work less and feel like adequate providers (or just keep our jobs, for that matter!!).
