{"product_id":"2940149275069","title":"Transcend Your Boss: Zen and the Difficult Workplace","description":"Effective strategies for surviving in a difficult workplace. Abusive managers and employers can cause workers to suffer potentially severe health-endangering stress that gets worse the longer it continues. Many workers are driven to quit or are fired. Zen theory and tools offer a proven path to stress relief and can easily be adapted to the workplace. Zen buys time for targets to pursue an effective course of action, such as an internal complaint, or to collect evidence to support a future unemployment compensation claim or a lawsuit. Moreover, Zen helps workers avoid the common mistake of responding to stress in an impulsive and self-defeating way, inadvertently creating ammunition that is used against them. Zen and the Difficult Workplace provides an overview of Zen and Buddhist theories, using classic Buddhist teaching stories. The book is a highly-readable primer on meditation techniques suited to the office and guided meditations for a difficult workplace. \u003cbr\u003eThe author, a judge and attorney, provides insight into the problem of workplace abuse in the United States and discusses legal options. Be proactive. Save your job, and your sanity!","brand":"Patricia Barnes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47170990113008,"sku":"2940149275069","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149275069_p0.jpg?v=1763714642","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149275069","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
