READ THIS: WORKING FOR YOU ISN’T WORKING FOR ME: The Ultimate Guide to Managing Your Boss by Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster

In today's economy, it seems that with many looking for jobs, those that have a job are totally overworked and doing the job of several. To add insult to injury, if you have a problematic boss your life can potentially be miserable. Fortunately for Peachy Deegan, she loves her boss -because it is her- but she is thinking of the several suffering souls that can benefit from reading this book.

It is not a book meant to be read cover to cover, word for word. It is meant to help you identify your situation and comes forth with a detailed remedy that adds perspective and gives you options. This book is a tool to help you live a better life, and we all want that.

Their practical four-step program is hopefully effective for all situations, and after reading this cover-to-cover for review purposes we think they covered all bases. Detect, Detach, Depersonalize, and Deal! Sometimes your boss may fall into more than one category, so be sure to do the double-duty remedy.

Also, this is a good preventative measure for identifying problem people as potential bosses if you are interviewing! When you read the relationship problems that the authors identify, additionally you may see them in other areas of your life-not just the boss/worker relationship so pay attention to all valuable hints to deal with traits identified.

“I love my job, but I hate my boss.”

“My supervisor is half my age with none of my experience.”

“My boss is nice, but when a conflict arises she never takes a stand.”
“Sure I have responsibility, but none of the authority to carry it out.”
“His first response to any idea that I propose is no.”

Sound familiar? Sooner or later, everyone encounters a really bad boss – a constant criticizer, a micromanager, a power-hungry jerk, or just someone who has mentally checked out. But if you can’t afford to quit – and few of us can in this economy – the only option is to deal with it.

In their previous bestseller Working With You is Killing Me, Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster helped people deal with troublesome coworkers. Now they’re taking on toxic bosses in WORKING FOR YOU ISN’T WORKING FOR ME: The Ultimate Guide to Managing Your Boss (to be published by Portfolio on September 24).

After years of advising clients, Crowley (a psychotherapist) and Elster (a business strategist) have found that the single greatest determinant of happiness at work is the quality of your relationship with your boss. When it’s bad, you either become insecure or so resentful that you look for little ways to sabotage your boss. It’s easy to end up looking petty or incompetent. Crowley and Elster offer a better option – reclaiming control of the relationship, regardless of your rank.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
