While working in a particularly toxic environment, Karlyn Borysenko came to this liberating realization: she couldn't control other people, but she could control herself, her perspective, and her actions. Now an organizational psychologist, consultant, and executive coach, Borysenko reveals how to bridge the gap between where you are now and what will bring you the most happiness with your career. You must achieve self-mastery--by accepting responsibility for your actions, understanding your innate work style, and discerning when and how to push outside your comfort zone. Zen Your Work explains how to set personal goals that allow you to focus your energy and create measures of success that aren't affected by the cynicism, competitiveness, or narcissism of others. You'll learn how to apply mindfulness techniques in a highly practical way to achieve professional success, foster game-changing relationships (even with the most negative people in the office), decrease stress, and enjoy a better work/life balance. -- Back cover.
