When Work Costs You More Than it Pays: Recognizing Toxic Environments, Breaking the Cycle, and Rebuilding Your Identity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798180883087)

Hook- You don't lose yourself overnight-you lose yourself slowly by staying where you're not sustained.

From the outside, everything looked fine.
You were showing up.
Working hard.
Meeting expectations.
But internally... something didn't sit right.
The pressure kept increasing.
The support stayed inconsistent.
And no matter how much you gave-it never felt like enough.
So, you adjusted.
You endured.
You told yourself it would get better.
Until you realized-
This isn't just a job.
This is costing me.
In When Work Costs You More Than It Pays, Kairy Springer unpacks the reality many professionals experience but rarely name: Toxic workplace dynamics, Emotional exhaustion that doesn't go away, Staying longer than you should, The internal impact of unhealthy environments, And what it truly takes to rebuild after you leave.
This book is not about quitting work.
It's about refusing to lose yourself in it.
If you've ever felt unseen, stretched, or silently drained by what you do, this book will help you recognize it sooner, respond differently, and move forward with clarity.
Because no position, no title, and no opportunity
is worth losing who you are.
