Do you wake up thinking about work? Have you ever checked your work emails on Christmas day or at your child's recital?

If so, then bad news – you might be a workaholic. And the worst part? It doesn't even make you a good worker.

In this week's Pain Points, we're joined by Professor Malissa Clark, who shares her research into the phenomenon, her own story of being a workaholic, and practical advice for overcoming a "never not working" mentality – for both individuals and organizations.
