A GUIDE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO PREFER THOSE MOMENTS OF HIDING IN THE BATHROOM TO CONSTANTLY CLIMBING THE LADDER OR WORKING THE ROOM

We’ve been told that being successful looks a certain way. It’s hustling and working 24/7. It’s always being on. It’s “getting out there.” It’s constantly putting your work first at all costs—everything else can wait. Conventional wisdom tells us that this is the only way to achieve happiness and success at the highest levels of the biggest organizations and corporations. But what if you were told that just wasn’t true

In Hiding in the Bathroom, Morra Aarons-Mele - self-proclaimed hermit entrepreneur whose clients have included the Malala Fund and three U.S. presidential campaigns - disagrees with the notion that there’s only one successful “type”: the intense, super social, sleep-deprived mover and shaker. Instead, using her shorthand for achieving a more enjoyable and balanced work life, she paves a path for ambitious people who struggle with introversion, anxiety, or just crave a little more control over their lives.

Filled with practiced advice, easy-to-follow exercises, proven tools, and real stories collected from personal experience and more than one hundred twenty interviews of successful people - entrepreneurs, academics, and those just beginning their careers - Hiding in the Bathroom empowers professionals of all ages and levels to take control of the way they work. Practical and thoughtful, Hiding in the Bathroom is a must-have handbook for building a prosperous career and a happy life - on your own terms.
