Naked at Work (and Other Fears): : How to Stay Sane When Your Job Drives You Crazy

By Paul Hellman

Book Overview

Paul Hellman, management consultant for such companies as Citibank and Hewlett Packard, has an amazing statistic to share: the average human being has more than 60,000 thoughts a day-many of them about work. That's quite a lot for the brain to sort out. And that's where this book comes in handy, explaining in straightforward terms how to calm down and gain perpective on what's important. Side-by-side with hilariously recognizable real-life scenarios are workable meditative solutions for getting rid of unfounded fears, dealing with the founded ones-and becoming "the CEO of your own mind."

Customer Reviews

Wake up!! You're at work!!

As an employer of over 350 employees, I think this book may be the best way to jump start their thinking. In an engaging way,this book makes a point of challenging your every thought and helps one find some light at the end of the tunnel. Read it twice and give it out to everyone in your organization, particularly those people who have been there too long.

Smart, Fun and Thought-Provoking

This book is great for anyone who has ever thought before. It combines fun anecdotes, lessons about adjusting your thinking (that don't necessarliy hit you till hours later), and optimizing your brain power. It taught me a lot about how to get through the day at work and in life in a more efficient, productive and objective manner.I really liked it - and still like thinking about it. I need to read it again!

Simple advice that really helps

This is a great read that entertains you while still helping you to learn new ways of thinking and behaving. Some of the common sense approaches in here will make you wonder why you didn't think of it yourself! It takes reading Naked at Work to help you see why so many of your fears are unfounded, and how easy it is to ease them. I recommend this book for anyone having a tough time at work.

How true!

I don't know anyone who isn't stressed at work, and for all sorts of reasons. This book shows you that much of the stress can be overcome! Yes! In fact, most of these fears and anxieties are unfounded. I saw this book featured in PARENTS magazine, and I rushed out to buy my copy. It was well worth it. The book offer simple, straightforward solutions to make the workplace a better, more peaceful, place. I really enjoyed this book. It's actually FUN to read, even though it's quite informative.
