Stop calling it bad luck.
Lara Julia Graham
The premise
Not about the culture deck that describes a company that doesn't exist. Not about the feedback that arrives after you asked the wrong question. Not about the way a room can make you feel small without anyone raising their voice.
This book is for the person who worked incredibly hard and somehow ended up less confident than when they started. For the high performer who ends every quarter with more responsibility and less clarity. For anyone who left a job and spent months afterwards replaying conversations, wondering: was it really that bad, or was it me?
It was probably both.
Gaslighting — Corporate Edition maps the patterns that keep capable people trapped — how these environments pull you in, the methods by which reality gets quietly rewritten, and what it actually costs. Then it shows you how to see clearly, name what happened, and leave without explaining yourself to anyone. Sharp, dry, and written from the inside.
This is the book your boss hopes you never read.
Who this is for
This book is for the person who is exhausted but cannot point to a single reason why.
For the one who keeps getting praised in the same meeting where no one actually hears what they say.
For the person who left a job and spent the next six months replaying conversations, wondering: Was it really that bad, or was it me?
Maybe there were things you could have handled differently. Maybe there were also things you should never have had to carry.
This book helps you tell the difference.
Excerpt
"They usually don't start with the gaslighting. They start with coffee."
