À propos de cet audio

 "Superb."—Oliver Burkeman

A challenge to the tyranny of work and a call to reclaim our lives from its clutches.

From the moment we ask children what they want to “be” when they grow up, we exalt the dream job as if it were life’s ultimate objective. Many entangle their identities with their jobs, with predictable damage to happiness, wellbeing, and even professional success.

In The Good Enough Job, journalist Simone Stolzoff traces how work has come to dominate Americans’ lives—and why we find it so difficult to let go. Based on groundbreaking reporting and interviews with Michelin star chefs, Wall Street bankers, overwhelmed teachers and other workers across the American economy, Stolzoff exposes what we lose when we expect work to be more than a job. Rather than treat work as a calling or a dream, he asks what it would take to reframe work as a part of life rather than the entirety of our lives. What does it mean for a job to be good enough?

Through provocative critique and deep reporting, Stolzoff punctures the myths that keep us chained to our jobs. By exposing the lies we--and our employers--tell about the value of our labor, The Good Enough Job makes the urgent case for reclaiming our lives in a world centered around work.

I really needed this book and after listening to it, I’m glad I found it.
I’m that person. The one who thinks that my performance at work is unequivocally tied to my worth as a person. Why? Society raised me this way. My parents told me I should do something I love. What inevitably happens when you do that is you become so emotionally invested in the outcomes at work that you begin to lose yourself.
A job pays your bills. That is it’s purpose. There is joy to be had at work, but making it the main focus of your existence is cheating yourself. This book explains why.

If you care too much about what happens at work, you need to read this

The message was very clear and really helped put things in perspective. We need to take a step back to find ourselves and give ourselves permission to focus on what makes us happy. Balancing work and life should be the goal not giving it all to work. Thank you.

Really enjoyed this book

This week- written, concise book challenges the listener to ask the right questions. Framing as a handful of individual cases, it provides entry points that might resonate with different individuals, but the critical question is: how do I put work in its place in my life?
This is one of the key questions our society needs to answer as we face a period of turmoil and transition.
