Using case studies, exercises, and informative sidebars, she identifies the five emotional stages of job loss:* On the Brink * Letting Go * In the Wilderness * Seeing the Beacon * In the New Land Luban shows how to move through the emotional upheaval of job loss and return to the workforce with a sense of control and direction.
