Jolted: Why We Quit, When to Stay, and Why It Matters

「一堂大師級課程」 — 亞當·格蘭特（Adam Grant）

「一本必備指南」 — 安妮·杜克（Annie Duke）

預測了「大辭職潮」（Great Resignation）的組織心理學家帶來了關於我們為什麼辭職、是否應該辭職以及如何為我們的工作和生活做出正確選擇的新科學。

我們大多數人距離離職只有一個事件之遙。傳統觀念和「人們辭職的幾個主要原因」清單會讓我們相信，當工作中的負面因素變得太大，或者當他們發現更好的專業機會時，人們就會辭職。但這只是一半的故事。實際上，辭職往往是由一個單一事件觸發的，這個事件可能發生在工作內外，它讓我們停下腳步，並促使我們重新思考我們與工作的關係。

這些事件被組織心理學家安東尼·克洛茨（Anthony Klotz）稱為「衝擊」（jolts），它們是當今我們工作生活中最被低估的現實。衝擊代表了我們職業生涯中的關鍵時刻，然而，我們對它們的反應往往會損害我們的幸福感和成功。在《衝擊》（Jolted）一書中，克洛茨剖析了我們遇到的不同類型的衝擊，並提供了一份路線圖，幫助我們以改善（而不是破壞）我們通過工作追求美好生活的方式來應對這些衝擊。

The new science of why we quit, whether we should, and how to make the right choices for our work and lives, by the organizational psychologist who predicted the Great Resignation

Most of us are just one event away from leaving our job. Conventional wisdom and lists of the “top reasons people quit their jobs” would have us believe that people quit when the toxic elements of their jobs grow too big or when they spot a better professional opportunity. But that’s only half the story. In reality, quitting is often triggered by a single event, inside or outside our jobs, that stops us in our tracks and causes us to rethink our relationship with work.

These events are what organizational psychologist Anthony Klotz calls “jolts,” and they are the most underacknowledged realities in our work lives today. Jolts represent pivotal moments in our careers, and yet all too often, we respond to them in ways that harm our well-being and success. In Jolted, Klotz breaks down the different types of jolts we encounter and provides a road map to help us navigate them in ways that improve, rather than derail, our pursuit of the good life through our work.
