The high-achieving Type E woman—the woman who is trying to excel in multiple roles and be everything to everybody—is the victim of her own success. The more she shows she can do, the more others demand of her. And the cost to her physical and mental health can be enormous. By understanding the conflicts underlying Type E behavior, and by adopting Dr. Braiker's Type E stress management program, women can be successful without killing themselves by trying to do and have it all.
In addition to exposing the Everything-to-Everybody stress syndrome and examining its psychological causes, Dr. Harriet Braiker, who first identified Type E, shows how to tell if you are a Type E woman, gives strategies and exercises to build better stress resistance, and presents a 21-Day Mental Workout Training Program to help manage the barrage of demands that threaten to overwhelm Type E women.
The Type E Woman is the book for all women who strive to achieve in and outside of the workplace—for women of any age, in any position of life. It is for every woman trying to juggle multiple roles, as the majority of women today do.
