The Golden Handcuffs: The Golden Handcuffs

By Morgan Blake

You have the title. The salary. The status.

So why does it feel like a trap?

The Golden Handcuffs is a collection of seven short stories about senior professionals in hospitality and finance who had everything they were supposed to want - and still felt lost. A General Manager who can't remember the last time she felt like herself. A CFO who has a breakthrough at 35,000 feet. A Director of Finance who finally counts the real cost of his title. A Revenue Director whose body forces him to stop when his mind won't.

These are fictional stories. But they will feel very, very real.

Told with warmth, honesty and zero fluff, each story follows one person to the moment everything shifts - when they stop performing the life they built and start living the one they actually want.

If you have ever sat in a meeting, looked around the table and thought is this it - this book was written for you.

Seven stories. Seven breakthroughs. One question: what are your golden handcuffs costing you?
