The Trouble with Passion
How Searching for Fulfillment at Work Fosters Inequality
Book • 2021
In 'The Trouble with Passion', Erin A. Cech explores how the cultural ideal of following one's passion at work can perpetuate inequality by class, gender, and race.
Through interviews and surveys, she reveals how this principle often benefits employers while exploiting workers, particularly those from less privileged backgrounds.
The book challenges the notion that passion is the key to fulfillment and suggests a more holistic approach to career decision-making.
