Is the daily grind getting you down? You’re not alone! More than half of working adults in the U.S. say they’re experiencing at least some degree of that dreaded late-stage-capitalism affliction: burnout. With a focus on actionable alternatives, this book examines the mash-up of money and morality that got us into this mess alongside practical ways we can get ourselves out of it. Author Caroline Moore digs into hustle culture’s takeover of the way we do business and of our daily lives, and how we can re-envision what work is and what it should mean to us.
