      Tessa West bietet einen wertvollen Leitfaden für alle, die mit ihrer aktuellen beruflichen Situation unzufrieden sind, und zeigt, wie man eine erfüllendere Position findet. Wenn wir in unserem Job unzufrieden sind, führen wir unsere Frustration oft auf einen schlechten Vorgesetzten, langweilige Aufgaben oder übermäßige Arbeitsbelastung zurück. Doch die wahren Ursachen für berufliche Unzufriedenheit liegen oft in tiefer liegenden Bedürfnissen, zum Beispiel mangelnder Aufmerksamkeit. Die Psychologin Tessa West hilft dabei, den wahren Grund für unsere Unzufriedenheit herauszufinden und die individuellen Stressfaktoren zu identifizieren. Sie benennt die fünf häufigsten Ursachen für berufliche Frustration: Identitätskrise, Entfremdung, Zerrissenheit, zweiter Platz und unterschätzter Star. Jede Ursache hat dabei ihre eigenen Herausforderungen, Motivationen und Ziele. Um diese zu überwinden, bietet ihr Buch maßgeschneiderte Ratschläge, praktische Übungen, Test und Werkzeuge. West zeigt, wie man eine neue Position findet, in der man sich wohlfühlt – sei es in einer anderen Rolle, einem anderen Unternehmen oder einer ganz neuen Branche.

      When we think about changing jobs, we turn to traditional career advice that focuses on skills, qualifications, and interviewing techniques. We tend to ask ourselves, "Do I want to move from a full-time to a part-time job? Do I want to leave my company and start my own business?" But this line of thinking doesn't get to the heart of the problem-whyyou've been so unhappy at work in the first place. What if, instead, we asked ourselves a different question- "What psychological needs aren't being met now that need to be met in my next job?" In Job Therapy, Dr. Tessa West helps you turn inwards to identify the psychological reasons why you are unsatisfied, whether you're having an identity crisis at work, your job has changed so dramatically you don't recognise it anymore, or you aren't receiving recognition for your contribution. Whether you've only just entered the workplace or considering your final move, Job Therapywill help you identify and land your best role yet, one that's deeply rooted in a clear sense of self.
