Episode description

I’d venture a guess that many of us would agree that we need job therapy today, or have needed it at some point in our adult lives… and yet most of us have never even heard of it.

Our guest on the topic is a leading expert and author, Dr. Tessa West. Tessa is a Professor of Psychology at New York University and an expert in the science of interpersonal communication. She has published over 80 academic articles in psychology’s most prestigious journals, and has received multiple grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Tessa’s work has been covered by the likes of the New York Times, TIME, Forbes, The Guardian, and the US Supreme Court and many more, and she’s the author of the book “Jerks at Work: Toxic coworkers and what to do about them,” and “Job Therapy: Finding work that works for you.”

You give too much of your time, talent, energy to your job to be miserable at it. And like relationships, there may be times or stages where you feel stressed and frustrated, disheartened or underappreciated – but not over the long haul. 

Make sure you’re doing work that works for you. Otherwise, it might be time for some job therapy!
