How to Work Without Losing Your Mind: A Realistic Guide to the Hell of Modern Work

Cate has written such a beautiful book, like getting a lovely hug from a friend but also learning so much about the modern working world from someone who has first hand experience of how tough things are. I found myself laughing with Cate through descriptions of terrible managers and crying when she gives advice around bereavement at work. It really is a book that encapsulated everything and was so easy to read. I bought this book to help me through a tough job transition, and to know there are other women who are just as anxious and scared as I am about interviews and work, made me feel so much better. PLEASE WRITE MORE BOOKS!!

For anyone who is feeling lost or ground down in their career, particularly younger women, this is an essential read. Inspiring, practical and comforting, it's like Cate has seen into my brain and answered all of my secret fears. This book is a game changer, and should be on everybody's wish list.

I enjoyed this book, for many it is nothing people have not heard before but it was a needed read. It is like hearing the things you need to do but just never manage to act on. I have been balancing my work a lot more since and making time for myself so it was useful for me. I like the way the author writes as well, it was engaging to read.

As soon as I started the book I knew it was going to be a good read (I didn't know I needed to read the word 'sphincter' in a book about careers until now). It's really relatable (and hilarious), with genuinely useful, insightful and practical advice. You definitely feel seen when you read it and I've already recommended it to all my friends!

Had just started reading the book (this isn’t a comment on the book content) and just noticed a big tear on page 153/154. And the book cover even looked like it was dried from being wet.
