Throughout this heartfelt book, Ms. Kreamer comes down on the side of accepting and expressing one s authentic feelings, though in sensible and constructive ways.

It s a stimulating read bolstered by snippets of some of the best recent work on emotional intelligence and the science of happiness.

Cry if you want to. Just use the suggestions and techniques Kreamer outlines to make sure your weeping doesn t get in the way of your work."
The Washington Post

Kreamer makes a solid case for her philosophy in the most compelling way possible, by appealing to rationality and the bottom line, resulting in an extremely readable, well-reasoned volume that will leave readers with a heightened emotional intelligence of their own, more confidence and rationality about their emotions, and an ability to take that knowledge to the office.
Publisher s Weekly Review

Big girls do cry and yell at work, according to this lively, well-researched exploration of emotions on the job.
O, The Oprah Magazine

what makes Kreamer s book transcend Who Moved My Cheese-yness is the tension that thrums beneath her ex-executive optimism and also
her own still-palpable disappointment in the corporate sphere.
