Initially I thought this book might be too touchy feely for lawyers – like many other books on this topic. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
I think the author’s experience in NY law firms makes him well qualified to address this topic. I found it had helpful questions and that doing the exercises was very revealing. Net net, it helped to identify the sources of stress and makes it very clear that if the lawyer is honest about his/her values, what changes need to be made.
Following the suggestions in this book it makes it almost impossible for a lawyer to claim that there is nothing that can be done to improve his/her situation.
Do you wonder if you are the only person crazy enough to think that your law practice is destructive to your spirit? Take heart, the book tells you that you are in good company. You must find a way to change your reaction to the stress, your path to sanity. This book offers a veriety of starting points
This book really captures the issues in the legal profession and gives useful advice on how to deal with it constructively.
If you’re a lawyer and you battle the typical challenges that come with the job, this book is just a must-read. The book is full of valuable insight and good strategies for better navigation through the commonly “adversarial” legal environment. It’s a quick read, but is one of those books that you’ll find yourself referring back to again and again for help. Just a really wise investment!
Lawyers need all the help that’s available. This book is a strong step in the right direction. The many helpful areas included how to both avoid and deal with stressful situations. It was easy to read and contained valuable stress lowering and self esteem raising techniques.
