About the original book:

Eilene Zimmerman isn’t under any illusions about how the real world operates under self-imposed expectations and rising stress. She shines a spotlight into the obscurity of substance abuse in white-collar settings, and the truth that’s reflected is more than any of us may be ready to accept. In Smacked, she takes a straightforward approach to a discussion that has been avoided at the highest levels of power and influence. With America at peak drug abuse in over a decade, it’s timely counsel.
