All That We Are: Uncovering the Hidden Truths Behind Our Behaviour at Work (Hardback)

Who do you bring with you to work?

Try as we might to avoid it, our private life comes to work with us every day. In a collection of stories from her professional and personal experience, Gabriella Braun shares insights from over twenty years of uncovering layers of emotional entanglements in the workplace. She reveals the full extent to which every organisation is affected by the personalities and psychological makeup of its leaders and staff, and what that means for our working lives.

Taking psychoanalysis out of the therapy room and into the staff room, ALL THAT WE ARE uncovers the hidden truths behind such cases as an addiction centre where staff are governed by choices they don't know they make; a board that loses the plot and nearly causes their company to collapse; and a meek man who feels powerless to express his anger at an impossible job.

By understanding the influence of our unconscious mind at work, Gabriella shows how we can improve our wellbeing and performance, form good relationships with colleagues, and build more humane working lives.
