A book for high achievers with a capital “A”…who want to avoid or recover from depression with a capital “D”.

A former manager in the fields of security, aeronautics and public transportation, and a single mother, Marie-Josée Michaud testifies to her personal and professional downfall, caused by hyper performance, the quest for perfection and the fear of peer judgment. She tells how, in 2005, she had to change her lifestyle and her perception of performance in order to regain her balance. 

Through her testimony and teachings, the author, who is now a strategist and speaker on psychological health in the workplace, explains, among other things, what it means to manage emotions and the ego, as well as resilience and letting go. The author also provides the reader with avenues of reflection and tools to prevent him or her from falling into the spiral of hyper performance.
