This book has 5 chapters. It starts out with an introduction and history to the problem and a quick self assessment. She walks you through how to identify it, how to change your habits, how to ensure you don't encourage the behavior, and how to fix culture at the office/job.

There are 2 longer assessments in the appendix. These might be good to chart your progress over time should this be a pertinent problem for you.

It's a very light and easy read. Each chapter has a short summary section to nail the key points.

This book would be helpful for: * leaders in any organization * change agents and consultants who help define processes for their organizations * managers * future managers * anyone feeling overworked * anyone who thinks that they are overworked * anyone who has friends who are overworked.
