I always throw up on Mondays

Constant availability, pressure to perform, less and less time and standardized work make us lose our desire to work. Gritting our teeth, we bury our belief in creative development, our self-efficacy or even ideals. Because "get out of the hamster wheel" or "you don't have to do anything", as is cheerfully propagated, is easier said than done, is not the solution for everyone and for many it even sounds cynical.

Dream job becomes a nightmare

What if the job is simply to earn a living? We can't simply reorient ourselves? What can we do if our dream job has become a nightmare? Clear, suitable for everyday use and with both feet on the ground, she shows us how we can rethink our work, what makes our work special and what good things even the silliest job has to offer, without neglecting the positive effects of a fulfilling evening after work. Anja Niekerken is a convinced constructivist and down-to-earth realist in one. As a former manager and managing director in crisis management in the financial services sector, she knows what she is talking about and why she is constantly rethinking topics such as leadership and self-management. There is no room for simple black-and-white solutions, and in her talks and training sessions she constantly encourages her audience and participants to take responsibility for their own thinking.This book is now available in bookshops.
