For many, work is the centerpiece of our lives. It’s not only a source of status and fulfillment, but also central to our identity.
But what do we miss out on when hold these expectations of our work? What does it cost us?
That’s the question Simone Stolzoff asks in his book, The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work. In answering this question, he explains the drivers that got us here, the reasons society and culture reinforce them, and what life might look like if we reframed the role of work in our lives. He challenges us to recognize who benefits by us making work the whole of our lives.
