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 means 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 ur 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.
