HTML:<b>A Best Book of 2024 by <i>Harper's Bazaar</i></b> <b>* <i>PureWow</i> *</b> <b><i>Brit & Co</i></b><br /> <br /> <b>"</b><b>As hilarious as it is heart-wrenching...[A] gift of storytelling, and an act of reclamation." —Ashley C. Ford, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author</b><br /> <br /> <b>A</b> <b>deeply personal memoir about workaholism, the addictive nature of ambition, and the humbling process of picking yourself up when the world lets you down—an anti-girlboss tale for our times for readers of <i>Drinking: A Love Story</i> and <i>Uncanny Valley</i>.</b><br /> After years of relentlessly racing up the professional ladder, Jennifer Romolini reached the kind of success many crave: a high-profile, C-suite dream job, a book well-received enough that reporters wanted to know the secrets to her success, and a gig traveling around the country giving speeches on "making it." She had a handsome and clever husband, a precocious child. But beneath this polished surface was a powder keg of unresolved trauma and chronic overwork. It was all about to blow.<br /> <br /> Written with self-deprecation and wit, <i>Ambition Monster</i> 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, <i>Ambition Monster</i> 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.
