A painfully honest and practical book for women who are struggling to survive - let alone thrive - in the modern workplace

We're told that women today have never had it so good, yet millennial women are of the brokest generation, they're burning out and in danger of giving it all up.

How to Work Without Losing Your Mind is a painfully honest, hilarious and relatable guide to surviving the hell of the nine to five. It will help you navigate the real, messy, stressful and sometimes bizarre side of work that everyone experiences but no one talks about.

Drawing on her time working in both giant corporations and scrappy startups, Cate Sevilla will be your guide through every shitstorm you'll ever face, whether you're-

- feeling overwhelmed by your workload - trying to get out of a job you hate - battling a boss who seems determined to keep you down - struggling to stay motivated - or bouncing back from failure or being fired

How to Work Without Losing Your Mind will replace the G&T at the end of your day. It'll be your tonic to a long, hard working week, where you've cried in the office loos and are wondering what to do next.

Reviews for How to Work Without Losing Your Mind

An invaluable guide to surviving professional life. Cate Sevilla is insightful, inventive and so supportive * Viv Groskop, author of How to Own the Room * A timely and provocative book that is at once empathetic about the challenges work presents and empowering on how to overcome them * Bruce Daisley, author of The Joy of Work * Entertaining and practical; moving and funny and, most importantly, a helping hand from someone who's been through it * Emma Gannon, Sunday Times bestselling author * Has a book ever been more relevant to our brave new working world? Whether you're dealing with a micro-managing boss, trying to ignore competitive colleagues, or barrelling towards burnout, we could do with a little guidance right now * Stellar Magazine * A brutally honest, beautifully practical guide for anyone reassessing their priorities in work and life. This book is a masterclass in swerving burnouts and resetting boundaries * Lucy Clayton, author of How to Go to Work * Explored with huge heart and unending empathy, I implore every millennial and gen Z woman to read this, whether they're at the start of their career or its zenith * Laura Jane Williams, author of Our Stop * A frank, funny and kind guide on how to turn a job into a career * Ailbhe Malone, Editor, The Strategist UK * A thought provoking and practical guide to the ever evolving world of work, Care Sevilla's words feel particularly comforting and clarifying during these uncertain times * Yomi Adegoke, co-author of the bestselling Slay in your Lane * Oh, how I wish I'd had this book 10 years ago! Cate gives both the sympathetic hug and the firm shake by the shoulders that so many of us need to navigate the world of work right now. It's hilarious and helpful with so many on-point insights that you'll wonder if she's been reading your Slack messages (she hasn't) * Lauren Bravo, author of How To break Up With Fast Fashion * Fearless and funny! If you feel like work is getting or letting you down Cate is here to give you a hug and offer you practical advice. All of our careers are now full of change and uncertainty and Cate's book will help you to take control and look after rather than lose your mind! * Sarah Ellis, author of the Sunday Times bestselling book The Squiggly Career * This is a useful, smart, thoughtful and beautifully written exploration of a subject that affects us all, but we know so little about... I do not use this word lightly but Cate's brilliant book is GENUINELY EMPOWERING! * Daisy Buchanan, author of How to be an Adult and Sisterhood * I wish I'd read it before ever entering an office and I 100% hope anyone who ever has to manage me reads it * Flo Perry, author of How to Have Feminist Sex * Cate Sevilla is well placed to give advice on how to survive the ups and downs in any workplace * The Irish Post * Does well to remind readers of the action that can be taken to reduce stress and be happier in our jobs * Financial Times book of the month *
