What female lawyers can learn from The DOSE Effect

Like many lawyers, I’m curious about why some days feel manageable and energising, while others leave us depleted before lunchtime. When I read The DOSE Effect by TJ Power, it put language and structure around something many of us already sense instinctively: our brains are running powerful chemical systems in the background, and modern working life often pushes those systems in the wrong direction.

For female lawyers in particular, juggling demanding careers, emotional labour, and responsibilities outside work, understanding how these systems operate can be genuinely empowering.
