Finally, with some editing I posit that Friedlander's book should target those entering the workforce. The twisted road to choosing a life's calling is indeed more than a job. Read this book and find out why and how to get it correct the first time ![]() The book's stated purpose is to prepare a person with chronic illness to go back to work, and is for those who feel that they are ready for this step. I am nowhere near ready, and feared that I would feel "pushed," or would be made to feel guilty for not being at that stage. But that's not the case at all. She even addresses the problem of guilt that chronic illness sufferers often feel, that sense of inadequacy, and necessity of asking others for help. She says that her "comeback" took 13 years, and promises that she "would never presume to know what your life's course should or will be." But if you are ready, her book is here to help. Sharing the early days of her diagnosis of Crohn's Disease, which has no known cause or cure, the author writes, "I believed that my will and intention could change anything I put my mind to. I believed that my circumstances were malleable and that I was the driver in my life, no questions asked." This made me say "Yes!" out loud because, of course, I felt the same way before Fibromyalgia and CFS turned out to be my own Waterloo. But I was impressed by more than that personally affirmative moment. Throughout the book Friedlander, rather than just being a cheerleader, communicates honestly about the physical challenges of chronic illness, as well as the emotional impact and the personal and social consequences that can result. And while the book has plenty of practical wisdom and advice, reading it felt less like being told what to do by an authority figure, and more like being counseled by a trusted friend. Even those who have experienced a health crisis and are not ready to go back to work will find plenty of useful, affirming, and honest discussion from Friedlander. Yes, she talks about stress, sleep, etc., but also things like reassessing your career goals, how to tell people about your illness and who should know, navigating the interview process, determining at which hours of the day you are at your most, and least, energetic, and a lot more. I have but one complaint about the book, for which I took off 1/2 of a star: the unfortunate title, Business from Bed. Normally I'd say "big deal" to an odd title, but I showed the cover to several people and the typical response was: "Okaaaayy.....that could be misleading." A Forward by C.J.Hayden says that Friedlander came up with it (and Hayden approved). Editor? Publicist? Did either of you chime in? I'm just afraid that this wonderful book might miss its audience (or embarrassment over the ambiguous title might keep them from purchasing it). Does the title matter? I think so, but it is also my hope that the people who most need this book will find, and read it. Even for those not ready to get back in the workforce, this slight volume (under 200 pages) is one of the best and most insightful books for dealing with chronic illness that I have read thus far. ![]() nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
When people are remanded to their beds or their homes by a prolonged health crisis it can become a time of deep reflection, prompting a person to reevaluate assumptions that have formed the basis for many life and business decisions. As one moves away from a time of ill health and pain, back towards wellness, it is easy to forget what you said you would do differently and gallop back to business as usual.The 6-step comeback plan outlined in Business from Bed will help the reader combat this normal tendency. Joan Friedlander (herself diagnosed with a chronic disease) outlines steps that are des Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
