This book is about successful work adjustment and relates to anybody who is working or about to go to work. Work adjustment refers to an employee being successful at his/her job and finding satisfaction with his/her work (thus company and job). This book doesn't glamorise work success but makes it realistic and attainable by breaking work success down into concrete steps (meaning concrete actions and/or behaviours). The central premise is to take charge of yourself and of the work environment rather than being a passive participant.
