PLEASE NOTE: This is a summary, analysis and review of the book and not the original book. The American culture has been infiltrated, and ambitious white-collar professionals are left out in the cold with only alcohol and drugs to keep their lights ablaze. It's reaching epidemic proportions, and Zimmerman's story is one we all need to hear if we dare to look hard into the crystal ball. What Does this Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review Include? Summary of the original book Easily digestible takeaways distilling the main ideas How the author lost her ex-husband, a partner at a prestigious law firm, to substance abuse How stress, anxiety, and depression are fuelling a drug crisis and what we can do about it Editorial Review & Analysis Background on Eilene Zimmerman About the Original Book: Eilene Zimmerman isn't under any illusions about how the real world operates under self-imposed expectations and rising stress. She shines a spotlight into the obscurity of substance abuse in white-collar settings, and the truth that's reflected is more than any of us may be ready to accept. In Smacked, she takes a straightforward approach to a discussion that has been avoided at the highest levels of power and influence. With America at peak drug abuse in over a decade, it's timely counsel. DISCLAIMER: This book is intended as a companion to, not a replacement for, Smacked.
