I am getting really interested in this topic especially as it applies to non-profit and government employees. This apparently was the first comprehensive book on the subject, or at least the most famous one--it definitely lays out the problems but is weaker on the solutions. That makes sense since the problems were not usually identified or openly discussed when the book was first published (they still aren't). To me it was great groundwork for work remaining to do.

Not bad. It tells me everything I already knew from experience. However, I suspect that, for academic purposes, this is an important book that has opened the academic dialog about emotions in life.
