But beneath this polished surface was a powder keg of unresolved trauma and chronic overwork. It was all about to blow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten with self-deprecation and wit, \u003ci\u003eAmbition Monster\u003c\/i\u003e is a gutsy and powerful look at workaholism and the addictive nature of achievement, the lingering effect of childhood trauma, and the failures of our modern rat race. This is a Cinderella story of success and a brutal appraisal of the cost of capitalism--perfect for people pleasers, overachievers, and those whose traumas have driven them to strike for \"goodness,\" no matter the cost. With its timely and resonant deconstructing of the American Dream, \u003ci\u003eAmbition Monster\u003c\/i\u003e is a singular excavation of selfhood, an essential interrogation about the way we work, and an inspiring and affirming call to always bet on yourself.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJennifer Romolini is the author of \u003ci\u003eWeird in a World That's Not\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAmbition Monster\u003c\/i\u003e, and is the host of the podcast \u003ci\u003eEverything Is Fine\u003c\/i\u003e.
