Resumen del Editor
"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.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"His straight-shooting style makes for a blistering takedown of American corporate culture. Workaholics would do well to check this out."—Publishers Weekly
“Superb. A fascinating and deeply reported challenge to the idea that our work should—or ever could—be the only center of meaning, self-worth, or community in our lives. The real-life stories fill the reader with the liberating sense that we absolutely could put work back in its place—and that the result would be both richer lives and more effective work.”—Oliver Burkeman, New York Times bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks
“The Good Enough Job is an incredibly propulsive read, filled with characters whose stories will be at once familiar and astonishing—and it will absolutely challenge you to change the way you think about work.”—Anne Helen Petersen, author of Can’t Even and coauthor of Out of Office

Historia
The Myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career. The Reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally. Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you'll need to learn to be successful you'll have to learn on your own, outside of school.

For young professionals and entrepreneurs, there is no shortage of gurus, processes, and quick-fix formulas to chase in the quest to grow their business, lead their team, and find personal fulfillment. In fact, there are so many out there that it's exhausting. Wouldn't it be better to realize that the leadership lessons we need to learn are not out there somewhere but in here, in our own lives? That instead of becoming a knock-off of someone else, we can be uniquely ourselves?

Women are notorious over-preparers and underestimators when it comes to their own readiness to try something new. But as Emma teaches, what most often holds us back are our own fears, excuses, and doubts. With her revolutionary manifesto, Winging It, Emma shares a rallying cry for all women to “do the things that scare you, build your wealth, make an impact, fail lots, and get up and try again”.

There are 168 hours in a week. This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better. It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme jobs, and 24/7 connectivity, life is so frenzied we can barely find time to breathe. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals.

In Do Nothing, award-winning journalist Celeste Headlee illuminates a new path ahead, seeking to institute a global shift in our thinking so we can stop sabotaging our well-being, put work aside, and start living instead of doing. As it turns out, we’re searching for external solutions to an internal problem. We won’t find what we’re searching for in punishing diets, productivity apps, or the latest self-improvement schemes. Yet all is not lost - we just need to learn how to take time for ourselves, without agenda or profit, and redefine what is truly worthwhile.

Gravity affects every aspect of our physical being, but there’s a psychological force just as powerful - yet almost nobody has heard of it. It’s responsible for bringing groups of people together and pulling them apart, making certain goals attractive to some and not to others, and fueling cycles of anxiety and conflict. In Wanting, Luke Burgis draws on the work of French polymath René Girard to bring this hidden force to light and reveals how it shapes our lives and societies.

Historia
In Do Nothing, award-winning journalist Celeste Headlee illuminates a new path ahead, seeking to institute a global shift in our thinking so we can stop sabotaging our well-being, put work aside, and start living instead of doing. As it turns out, we’re searching for external solutions to an internal problem. We won’t find what we’re searching for in punishing diets, productivity apps, or the latest self-improvement schemes. Yet all is not lost - we just need to learn how to take time for ourselves, without agenda or profit, and redefine what is truly worthwhile.

Historia
We live in a world oriented toward greatness, one in which we feel compelled to be among the wealthiest, most powerful, and most famous. This book explains why no one truly benefits from this competitive social order, and reveals how another way of life is possible—a good-enough life for all. Avram Alpert shows how our obsession with greatness results in stress and anxiety, damage to our relationships, widespread political and economic inequality, and destruction of the natural world. He describes how to move beyond greatness to create a society in which everyone flourishes.

Do you feel like your life is an endless to-do list? Do you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through Instagram because you’re too exhausted to pick up a book? Are you mired in debt, or feel like you work all the time, or feel pressure to take whatever gives you joy and turn it into a monetizable hustle? Welcome to burnout culture. While burnout may seem like the default setting for the modern era, in Can’t Even, BuzzFeed culture writer and former academic Anne Helen Petersen argues that burnout is a definitional condition for the millennial generation.

Historia
Bestselling author Herminia Ibarra presents a model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from "career experts"—and is tailor-made for changing careers in today's uncertain world. Career transition is not a linear path toward some predetermined identity, according to Ibarra, but a crooked journey along which we try on a host of "possible selves" we might become. Successful reinvention comes not from deciphering and analyzing our past, but from inventing and testing our possible futures.

Historia
The Antidote is a series of journeys among people who share a single, surprising way of thinking about life. What they have in common is a hunch about human psychology: that it’s our constant effort to eliminate the negative that causes us to feel so anxious, insecure, and unhappy. And that there is an alternative "negative path" to happiness and success that involves embracing the things we spend our lives trying to avoid.

Historia
Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things - and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against - and teach us how to fight back.

For much of history, societies have violently oppressed ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities. It is no surprise that many who passionately believe in social justice came to believe that members of marginalized groups need to take pride in their identity to resist injustice.

Should be an essential read for all Americans
Before you even try the “no one wants to work these days” rhetoric, know that I am the exact demographic he is discussing. 100% full blown, high performing, burned out, tech workaholic. He is completely accurate that the obsessive “my economic productivity IS my worth epidemic” is definitely American and a narrative pushed by billionaires and politicians for their own gain at the detriment of the family unit. This should be a must read for all people, especially Americans. It doesn’t tell you to not work, it just reminds you that you are a human outside of your work title and the amount of money you make. If the idea of what I just said causes you to pull back, you need this book more than anyone else. Trust me, I was that person too and found my way out the hard way.

Pass it along
I have forwarded this book to my sons with a feeling my husband and I may have steered them in the wrong direction, sadly. Caught up in my own journey to learn what not to do through examples growing up, we have chained ourselves to the golden handcuffs. Just satisfied enough to not quit. So much of what is called out in this book is the underlying political sale of making our country great through the work we do and our identity being intrinsically tied to “what do to do for a living”. I’m changing my intro question to what do you like to do? Still letting this one settle in. Thank you for a thought provoking read.

Great read
So many people I know live to work. It creates a chaos that is unnecessary and whether you work to live or not, makes it harder for you to ignore. This book should be mainlined into everyone’s brain and we should all be tested. Not sure why society operates this way but we should all want to live more balanced lives. I’ll be sharing this with everyone in my circle.

Good perspective
As someone going through a burnout as an overachiever, I enjoyed this book if only to hear similar stories and not feel so alone. It provided me the much needed perspective to be ok with rethinking my situation from a "what's best for ME" angle (which is difficult as a people pleaser). Easy listen.

A great reminder to slow down
While it lacks some key recommendations of how to get to “good enough” it does a good job diving into why we fall into the trap, mostly that work consumes our identity and it’s hard to cope with the person we may be outside of work. It gave me a lot to think about as I am struggling with the same thing as someone who loves their job but is prone to workaholism.

Surprisingly insightful
I was at first turned off by the initial assumptions of the book, that I thought negated peoples efforts who do really like their job (like me) and was going to be to theoretical to connect with.
However the author seamless weaved together stories from interesting people at different places in their careers and perspectives. It allowed me as the listener to connect with parts and pieces of each of their journey.
I really connected with the book when it got to Josh’s story. I’m guessing it’s the most similar to values that I look to emulate. I work remotely, and thus always have access to be doing something. This book has helped me set strong work and family time boundaries so my work isn’t always creeping in whenever there is a spare moment.
I have already recommend this book to 3 friends
