Segment A: OverSuccess
Are you among the one-in-three Americans reportedly dissatisfied with your life? Jim Ruben's own brush with what he calls "American urgency" soured him on the 24/7 work life. He's the author of "OverSuccess: Healing the American Obsession with Wealth, Fame, Power, and Perfection". The former state senator of New Hampshire talks to Cathy today about how what he describes as mindless ambition in the U.S. leads to major depression, addiction, personal and public debt and even the popularity of reality TV shows.
Segment B: It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere
The recent economic downturn has cost many Americans their jobs. We'll look at the job market in Hampton Roads. We'll also talk with Dr. Richard Bayer, Chief Operating Officer of The Five O'Clock Club, a career counseling and outplacement firm, about how to cope emotionally and financially, and how to land a new position.
