No Hard Feelings: Emotions at Work (and How They Help Us Succeed), Fosslien Liz, West Duffy Mollie

A hilarious guide to effectively expressing your emotions at the office, finding fulfillment, and defining work-life balance on your own terms.

How do you stop the office grouch from ruining your day? How do you enjoy a vacation without obsessing about the unanswered emails in your inbox? If youre a boss, what should you do when your new, eager hire wants to follow you on Instagram?

The modern workplace can be an emotional minefield, filled with confusing power structures and unwritten rules. Were expected to be authentic, but not too authentic. Professional, but not stiff. Friendly, but not an oversharer. Easier said than done

As both organizational consultants and regular people, we know what its like to experience uncomfortable emotions at work - everything from mild jealousy and insecurity to panic and rage. Ignoring or suppressing what you feel hurts your health and productivity -- but so does letting your emotions run wild.

Our goal in this book is to teach you how to figure out which emotions to toss, which to keep to yourself, and which to express in order to be both happier and more effective. Well share some surprising new strategies, such as:
* Be selectively vulnerable Be honest about how you feel, but dont burden others with your deepest problems.
* Remember that your feelings arent facts What we say isnt always what we mean. In times of conflict and miscommunication, try to talk about your emotions without getting emotional.
* Be less passionate about your job Taking a chill pill can actually make you healthier and more focused.
