Working Well: How to Build a Happier, Healthier Workplace Through the Science of Attunement
A forward-thinking, practical guide to thriving at work through the next evolution of emotional intelligence—attunement—deepening connections and making others feel seen, heard, and valued in a healthier workplace
Compartmentalization. Work-life separation. Work boundaries. This was traditionally the advice given to those who wanted to survive in the work world. But what happens when this arbitrary boundary is crossed, and your personal life begins to seep into your work life?
In Working Well, work culture expert and therapist Nidhi Tewari argues that a thriving workplace is actually one that embraces people as whole, complex beings whose lives and work intersect–because suppressing your personal life and ignoring the personal lives of your teammates only leads to stress, anxiety, and burnout.
Combining cutting-edge research, practical tools, and storytelling, Tewari provides a roadmap to both improve our relationships with our coworkers and improve the work we do as a result. Focusing on the science of attunement, this book will teach you first how to become attuned to yourself, and then how you can attune to your coworkers.
In this essential read, you will:
- Deepen self-awareness by exploring how your past shapes present interactions
- Build emotional regulation through targeted exercises
- Identify and bridge Connection Gaps in your workplace relationships
- Navigate communication across neurotypical and neurodivergent perspectives
- Apply the CHECK-IN framework to repair and strengthen team dynamics
Whether you’re a leader or team member, Working Well will transform how you build connections at work. It’s time to start fueling your success and well-being and move from surviving to thriving.
