In his sixth fable  bestselling author Patrick Lencioni takes on a topic that almost everyone can relate to: the causes of a miserable job. Millions of workers  even those who have carefully chosen careers based on true passions and interests  dread going to work  suffering each day as they trudge to jobs that make them cynical  weary  and frustrated.

As with all of Lencioni?s books  this one is filled with actionable advice you can put into effect immediately. In addition to the fable  the book includes a detailed model examining the three signs of job misery and how they can be remedied.
