Breaking up is hard to do in relationships but also breaking up with your job. Dr Tessa West is a social psychology professor at New York University who says our relationships with our careers and jobs can be a lot like relationships with people and sometimes it's best to break up with your job it it's making you unhappy . She says we should ask some of the same questions we ask ourselves about unhappy relationships with romantic partners if work is making us miserable so we can move on or make it better. She offers practical advice to identify what makes us stressed at work, and how to 'smash it' in a job interview . Her new book is called Job Therapy: Finding Work that Works for You.
