About the Book

Your job title is
not your identity.

"What happens when the work that defines you suddenly disappears?"

For years, you've poured yourself into your role. Your value, your purpose, your sense of self — all wrapped up in your performance, your boss's approval, and your inbox.

In DETACH, Jeremy Burrows shows assistants, executives, and high-achievers how to break free from the dangerous cycle of tying self-worth to job performance — and find a deeper, more resilient foundation for identity and fulfillment.

🔓

Recognize the Worth Trap

🌱

Build Lasting Resilience

✨

Thrive Without Losing Yourself

Show up fully at work — without sacrificing your wellbeing, relationships, or peace of mind.

Are You Trapped?

Signs you're caught in
the Worth Trap

The Worth Trap is subtle, pervasive, and exhausting. Here's how it shows up — and why it's costing you more than you realize.

01

Your mood depends on your boss's approval

A single piece of critical feedback ruins your entire week — even when the feedback is minor.

02

You can't stop working, even when you're "off"

Rest feels like failure. You check Slack at midnight. You feel guilty taking a vacation.

03

Losing your job feels like losing yourself

The thought of layoffs, career changes, or retirement fills you with existential dread.

04

You measure your day in productivity

A day without a full to-do list feels worthless — regardless of rest, connection, or joy.

05

You say yes when you mean no

Boundaries feel dangerous. Saying no feels like risking your worth in someone else's eyes.

06

You're exhausted but can't slow down

Burnout is always just around the corner — yet stopping feels more terrifying than continuing.
