The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work
From the moment we ask children what they want to “be” when they grow up, the dream job is exalted as if it is life’s ultimate objective. Many entangle their identities with their jobs, with predictable damage to happiness, well-being, and professional success. Examine how work dominates Americans’ lives—and the challenge of letting go. Based on groundbreaking reporting and interviews with Michelin star chefs, Wall Street bankers, overwhelmed teachers and other workers across the American economy, discover what we lose when work is more than a job. Rather than treat work as a calling or a dream, examine how to reframe work as a part of life rather than the entirety of life. What does it mean for a job to be good enough? Through provocative critique and deep reporting, critique the myths that keep us chained to our jobs. By exposing the lies we--and our employers--tell about the value of our labor, this course makes the urgent case for reclaiming our lives in a world centered around work.
