In Our Best Interest: A Self-Improvement Guide for People Who Work

This book is about changing your life by changing the way you approach one of the largest parts of your life; the time you spend at work. Most of us spend more of our waking hours at work than any other place in our lives and, as a result, the time we spend at work shapes our lives – for better or worse. There are three main, prevailing beliefs regarding work: 1) I have to work, 2) It's stupid, and 3) I can't change it. These beliefs render us victims, not only at work, but in our "real" lives, as well. See, the longer you play a victim, the better victim you become. People who spend more of our waking hours at work than any other place in our lives and, as a result, the time we spend at work shapes our lives – for better or worse.People who practice these beliefs play the victim 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year, for 40 years, or more, and, as a result, become very good victims. And the worst part is that these beliefs (1) I have to work, 2) It's stupid, and 3) I can't change it) are not true.

In this book, I refute each of these self-defeating beliefs and show how we can use the time we spend at work for self-improvement instead of self-victimization. Work is not a perfect place but it is a perfect opportunity to improve your life. Try it. It takes less than an hour to read and costs less than 4 bucks. Following are the chapter titles:
