About Work's A Bitch and then You Make It Work: 6 steps to go from pissed off to powerful:

• Reader in Cincinnati
  

  “I want to tell people to seek the wisdom that is Andrea! Your books are a great support system to help guide one through the gloomy gully.”

• Beth Day
  

  “You once again show one of your greatest gifts–putting into words what others cannot. You identify the ‘essence’ of both people and situations. Thank you for drawing attention to the prevalence of ‘I’m here, but I’m not really here’ issue in the workplace. Thank you for shooting holes in the work/life balance theory. There are many things in this book that I need to hear. One was that I could stand to get rid of my ‘all-or-nothing’ attitude. You must have written the ‘all-or-nothing’ attitude with me in mind, because I’ve been calling myself ‘The All or Nothing Girl’ for years. I think this may go along with ‘end the search for perfection’ (p. 81). I always enjoy your humor. This book gave me both great belly-laughs and tearful thoughts. The examples and personal stories are what really resonate with the heart. They provide the energy to perform the ‘activities’ throughout the book.”

• Rand
  

  “I appreciate your fresh, straightforward approach suggesting effective action with engaging language. You are not afraid to deal with difficult bosses, shame or changing careers. I find your writing style, attitude and approach very refreshing and inspiring in so many ways.”

The book also taught me that I didn’t need a new job to fix my unhappiness. I began to understand that I wasn’t working with the right type of people in the office. Once I learned that, I became much more assertive and overall the my work environment became much better.”

  “I learned about you through your book ‘Life’s a Bitch…’ What a wonderful tool! I took my time reading it and took it very seriously. I was completely stuck in my career, and actually very sad. Imagine a grown woman crying every Sunday night because Monday’s approach. The job was not bad, I had the best coworkers…I was simply unfulfilled. It took me a total of 47 days to read your book and do all the exercises. After that, I committed to 15 days of pure ‘thinking’ about the things I had learned about myself with your help. Now, 7 months later, I have successfully transitioned careers. Not only that, I got the job for an additional $15k pay increase and have started a Masters degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology….did I mention that I love my job!? I got everything that I had written down as the ‘things that I want’ because I took this seriously.
  You have a gift, thank you for sharing!”
