Episode notes

In the last half century, highest earners are responsible for greatest increases in work time. The average American now works 30% more than the average German. How did we get here? I think there are a lot of potential explanations for that as well. There's also an argument to be made for the fact that work has gotten better for a lot of people.

Simone Stolzoff challenges the societal obsession with work and its detrimental impact on our well-being. Drawing from his book, 'The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work,' Stolzoff explores how our identities have become entangled with our jobs, resulting in diminished happiness and overall fulfillment. Join the conversation as he uncovers the myths surrounding work and advocates for reframing our perspective to prioritize a balanced and meaningful life beyond the confines of our careers.
