Working Ourselves to Death by Diane Fassel

Workaholism, is one, if not the, best known, and most pervasive addictions of our society. It is also one of the most respectable addictions which some addicts even boast about. This is because society as a whole believes in the myths that workaholics get ahead, that work addiction is profitable for companies and that the side-effects are no worse than stress or burnout. In this book the author denies these myths, showing that workaholism is a progressive and fatal disease which devastates both individuals and business. She identifies four main types of work addicts - compulsive, work bingers, closet workaholics and work anorexics - and demonstrates how to distinguish between overwork and work addiction. The book also provides vivid examples and case histories, along with an empowering guide to recovery.
