Company Men: A Wellness Guide for Black Men in Corporate America

Summary

Corporate America has many advantages that make it an attractive career path: six-figure salaries, generous health benefits, and a path to retirement, if you’re fortunate enough to go the distance. But building a lasting and rewarding career in corporate America is difficult no matter what your racial or gender background is. From navigating office politics to dealing with difficult bosses and coworkers, managing anxiety-inducing realities such as layoffs and reorgs—all while working to secure your financial future—can make corporate life not for the faint of heart.

While there are over 20 million books sold yearly on managing corporate life, Company Men: A Wellness Guide for Black Men in Corporate America is one of the few to speak directly to Black professional men. Company Men offers the help and tools Black men need to extract the benefits of working in corporate America while addressing the unique challenges they face in maintaining their well-being across various spectrums—mental, physical, social, and financial—that come from being a person of color in these spaces.

“Through Company Men, Justin offers a valuable roadmap for Black men to maximize their leadership, and at the same time, embrace the trials and triumphs of corporate life. Every Black male professional―whether newly minted or seasoned veteran—should read this book and apply its lessons for longevity and success."―Derek Dingle, Chief Content Officer at Black Enterprise
