True stories about terrible bosses, hysterical clients, awful Yelp reviews, disappointing sales, and other painful, discouraging messes--and how to get through it. No matter what type of career path you've chosen, sooner or later, you're going to experience a moment when you feel defeated and discouraged. It might be a project that totally flops.

Inside, you'll find true stories about people who have experienced every type of professional criticism and disappointment that you can imagine--stories that will make you cringe, laugh, and maybe cry.

This isn't the end of your story. You're going to survive.

Reviews for You're Going to Survive: True stories about adversity, rejection, defeat, terrible bosses, online trolls, 1-star Yelp reviews, and other soul-crushing experiences-and how to get through it (Adversity Book, Job Loss)

I feel like the title pretty much explains why I want to read it. Everyone needs to be thrown life preserver now and again. This book seems like it might be a good one and, if nothing else, maybe my mess won't seem so messy in comparison to some of the stories in this book. *Fingers Crossed?* - Reading for Sanity
