Happy Lawyer : The Art of Having It All Without Losing Your Mind

How you can make use of your law degree—without making yourself miserable. When they enter the field, lawyers seem to have it made—with a high-salary, high-status profession that should set them up for life. Yet, even when they seem to have it all, they often start to feel like something's off. Their careers have become horribly soul-sucking. They're managing their lives, sort of—but they feel duped. Trapped. Their "good job" is affecting their health and relationships—and they're just trying to keep all the plates spinning. Here's the good news: Beverly Davidek has been there, and in this book she and husband Dirk show how you can find a job that allows for happiness, satisfaction, and peace of mind. If you're still struggling to find a way to provide for your family without losing yourself, this book is for you. Part Ask and It Is Given and part What Color Is Your Parachute? (but written specifically for lawyers), Happy Lawyer gives you the tools you need to get unstuck in your career and start living your dream. "You seem to have it all.
