When You Love and Hate Your Job

You CAN be happy AND successful.

“This is a book that can help a person to re-evaluate their priorities in life and gather the courage to make choices for a healthier and happier work-life balance. A very practical and realistic text for self-help” - Nicola Parker-Summers

“Dr Akanet helps you through honest and insightful reflection to consider career choice and work-life balance by either continuing the juggling act or being more joyful and purposeful with your passions.” - Alex Graves

“If you have reached a career goal and find yourself unhappy and thinking "What now?", then you will be able to relate to this book. Or if you've ever wondered why people at the top of the food chain quit their jobs, then this will be an eye-opener. Dr. Akanet takes us through her personal journey and offers advice along the way. A really easy and enjoyable read, with a strong take-home message.” - Anna Nguyen
