Chained To The Desk: Workaholism And The Psychology of Behavioral Addiction
Chained to the Desk: Workaholism and the Psychology of Behavioral Addiction
In an age that glorifies hustle culture and celebrates busyness as a badge of honor, Chained to the Desk dares to ask a difficult question: When does dedication to work cross the line into addiction?
This groundbreaking book delves deep into the often-overlooked world of workaholism, a form of behavioral addiction that can be just as destructive as substance abuse yet often goes unnoticed, even rewarded. Beginning with a clear-eyed overview of what addiction truly is, the author builds a compelling case for understanding workaholism not simply as ambition or drive but as a psychological compulsion rooted in deeper emotional and personality patterns.
Through an engaging, accessible, and research-informed journey, readers will uncover:
  • The evolving landscape of modern addictions, including digital, performance-based, and socially reinforced behaviors
  • Why work is a necessary but potentially dangerous force in our lives
  • The behavioral signs and symptoms of workaholism—what to look for in yourself or others
  • How certain personality types are more vulnerable to this hidden addiction
  • The emotional, physical, and relational toll that chronic overwork can exact
With clarity and compassion, the author explains the psychology behind work addiction and offers insight into how to break free from its grip without abandoning your goals or success.
