So, this was something I obviously needed or I wouldn't have picked it up. To that end, I guess some of the stuff in here was just what I thought it would be. Self-fulfilling prophecy and all of that. Still, a good reminder.

Useful and informative, a book that should be read by employer and employee.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Maybe, this book will suit to somebody who workaholic. Honestly, I don't find something new here, but it's good to gain new perspective.

Never Not Working is an eye-opening book that made me think of the culture of work in a completely different way. Take the short quiz to find out how much you struggle with workaholism, and what you can do about it. The results might surprise you!
The author successfully deconstructs modern work culture, highlighting many examples from organisations and personal stories where work has become more than simply a job... and it's more common and more insidious that you might think.
The book includes clear steps for leaders so they can evaluate and rework how they want their organisational cultures to be, but there is also enough in here for a reader who is not in a position to influence the whole set up of their office to be able to make personal changes.
If you take work home, or check emails on vacation, I would suggest you read this book and it might change how you decide to approach your job.

Where was this book 25 years ago when I really needed it? After YEARS of overwork, workaholism and burnout -- I actually learned more from this book than anything else I've ever read on the subject. The author has really done her research and has lived it as well -- and it's not what you think it is. Well, partially, but overwork is so much more. The statistics are alarming and looking at overwork in other areas of the world (I'm looking at you China and Japan) were truly eye opening. I will be recommending this book to everyone I know but especially young ambitious females who need to know the effects of overwork sooner than later.
