This collective work from the Women at Work series explores the issue of workaholism from the angle of diversity and inclusion, underlining that women are particularly prone to it. Among the proposed solutions, chapters 6 (Burning Out? Give Yourself Permission to Dial It Back) and 9 (How to Get Through an Extremely Busy Time at Work) offer concrete avenues for prevention. The book gives pride of place to testimonials, allowing readers to grasp all the facets of this insidious phenomenon.
