Page ix Acknowledgments My primary thanks on this project go to the hundreds of people who have shared their stories about career self-sabotage with me or my researchers. Many of their case histories are found in this book. Abundant thanks are due my editor at AMACOM, Andrea Pedolsky, for seeing the merit in this project when it was still in the preliminary proposal stage. Ms. Pedolsky offered many valuable suggestions that have helped shape the content, structure, and writing style of this book. Carol Bowman, the woman in my life, receives my gratitude for her interest in my work and for her contribution to my peace of mind and happiness. Thanks also to my immediate family members and to the other people close to me: Melanie DuBrin, Douglas DuBrin, Drew DuBrin, Molly Clifford, Rosemary DuBrin, Tom Bowman, and Kristine Bowman.

Page xi Introduction Do you have a pattern of doing things like Losing your wallet or keys the morning of a big event in your life, thus occupying yourself with your loss rather than concentrating on (and enjoying) the occasion? As a result your performance is substandard. Investing extraordinary amounts of mental and physical energy in a new job, then slowly realizing that this job really isn't best for you? As a result you start looking for a new position without having established a good record of accomplishment. Criticizing powerful people in your organization in such a way that they become embarrassed, annoyed, and vengeful? As a result, a powerful person vetoes your next nomination for a promotion.
