The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work
Simone Stolzoff · 2023
🎙 Narrated by Simone Stolzoff (author)
79/100
👍 Worth It
Stolzoff's reporting through burned-out chefs, bankers, and other professionals makes a genuinely useful case that the 'dream job' is mostly a myth, even if the case studies skew toward white-collar readers. It's a timely, well-grounded reset worth the listen, and the author's own narration is clear and competent even if not especially showy.
