Are you stuck on the endless treadmill of overwork, unable to switch off, constantly chasing productivity, and wondering why rest feels impossible?
No Off Switch: Running on the Wheel of Workaholism is a powerful guide for anyone who feels consumed by their job, pressured to achieve more, or trapped in the cycle of busyness that modern life so often glorifies. Written in a clear, empathetic, and insightful style, this book reveals why workaholism is more than simply “working hard.” It is a behavioral addiction, a cycle that drains health, erodes relationships, and steals joy, all while disguising itself as ambition and success.
Inside these pages, you’ll discover:
The truth about workaholism: how it differs from dedication, why it’s so often praised, and the subtle ways it takes hold of people’s lives.
Psychological insights: the personality traits, emotional patterns, and addictive cycles that drive compulsive overworking.
Root causes and cultural pressures: how society’s obsession with productivity and success fuels the rise of workaholism.
Signs and symptoms: the physical, mental, and emotional warning signals that indicate when work has gone from passion to compulsion.
The hidden costs: the toll workaholism takes on careers, health, relationships, and long-term fulfillment.
Pathways to balance: prevention strategies, therapeutic interventions, time management tools, boundary-setting, and recovery practices that allow you to reclaim your life.
Case studies and relatable stories: real-world examples of how workaholism shows up in everyday life and the lessons that can be learned from them.
This book is not about giving up ambition or abandoning your career. Instead, it’s about redefining success, learning how to protect your well-being, and building a life where achievement coexists with rest, joy, and meaningful relationships. Whether you’re struggling with burnout, noticing the creeping signs of overwork, or simply want to prevent falling into the trap, No Off Switch offers both understanding and practical strategies to help you step off the wheel and live with balance.
In a world that celebrates busyness and often rewards overwork, this book is a compassionate reminder that you are more than your productivity. It will help you recognize the difference between healthy drive and harmful compulsion, equip you with tools to restore balance, and guide you toward a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with work.
If you’ve ever felt that your mind has no “off” switch or that you’re constantly running but never arriving, this book is for you.
Take the first step toward breaking free from the cycle of workaholism and discover how to reclaim your health, happiness, and life beyond the job.
