Breaking Crazy

Frieda Wiley, PharmD, suffered some hard knocks for working from home-so you don't have to.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forever changed the world in many ways-and some for the better. For one thing, it finally created a safe space for people to have candid conversations about mental health. Long before the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Wiley found herself struggling with mental and physical health while working remotely. When she became a full-time telecommuter in 2012, very few resources examined how working from home affects mental health. As a result, it took her months to discover solutions and recuperate.

In this book, Dr. Wiley shares her fool-proof tips on managing your time, being more productive, setting healthy professional boundaries, and protecting (and possibly improving) your physical and emotional health. She also shares the research to support it. Whether you're a single Generation X-er or a busy parent managing a household, this book offers solutions for everyone to thrive in a remote environment.

Dr. Frieda Wiley is an award-winning medical writer and journalist who has written for O, The Oprah Magazine, US News & World Report, Merck, and the National Institutes of Health. Before launching her writing career, she practiced as a pharmacist. She also enjoyed a brief career as a chemist in the aerospace industry.
