Delusions of Mediocrity: How UnderEarning, Codependency and Stupidity Wreak Havoc on Your Life—and How to Get a Grip

At Least One in Every Three U.S. Workers Is An Underearner

Underearning crosses all salary levels: whether you are making minimum wage or pulling down six figures annually, you may be an underearner—someone who earns far below what your abilities, skill set, potential, or job and title should command. The majority of underearners do not bring home enough to meet their monthly obligations, let alone build a future. Many have debt and most have no savings, investments or retirement plan.

Underearners often:

• Overwork to the point of exhaustion.
• Volunteer their time when they can barely pay their bills.
• Are lousy negotiators.
• Have a high tolerance for low wages.
• Daydream about a better future, but do little to create one.

Delusions of Mediocrity pulls back the curtain on underearning. Taylor uses her own life as an example, showing how the issue goes far deeper than income alone. In one easy-to-read volume, she demonstrates how family of origin, codependent behaviors, poor choices, low self-esteem and resultant pathetic negotiating skills drag underearners down. Taylor then explains how addressing those issues is critical to stopping the cycle of underearning madness.

Taylor offers up seventeen clear, practical things you can start doing immediately, and loads of resources to begin the process of shedding self-defeating behaviors, planning a better future and beginning your journey to earning what you deserve.
