Do you feel you need to do everything yourself and can’t ask for help?
Has it become so extreme you feel like you’re on a runaway train and don’t know how to pull the emergency stop?
You’re not alone.
Author Peggy Collins is a reformed “Self-Sufficient,” so she understands exactly what you’re going through. This is the first life-enhancing guide designed to help people like you who can’t or won’t ask for help: the overloaded employee who won’t seek assistance; the overachieving manager who refuses to delegate assignments; the overwhelmed super-mom who picks up the kids while closing the biggest sale of her career on her cell phone.
Filled with revealing self-tests, surprising case studies, and stress-busting exercises, this important new book offers a variety of proven strategies you can use to reduce the day-to-day anxiety and address the causes of Self-Sufficiency Syndrome.
Even if you believe that refusing to ask for help is a sign of strength and a source of pride, you’ll quickly find that knowing who, how, and when to ask for help will be the strongest and smartest thing you can do-for your career, for your family, and for yourself.

With Peggy Collins
It’s great to be self-sufficient, isn’t it?
Not if it’s costing you your sanity!
Many of us can’t ask for help, do everything all by ourselves, can’t delegate because no one else can do it as well and we’re headed for burnout or worse!!!
Are you constantly trying to “do it all”, all by yourself?
Do you avoid delegating work because you don’t trust others to “do it right”?
Are you afraid you’ll look weak if you ask someone for help?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you could be suffering from Self-Sufficiency Syndrome-and you might be heading for a major burnout.
