Author, journalist, and designer Simone Stolzoff challenges our understanding of work and its dominant place in our lives in his provocative book THE GOOD ENOUGH JOB. Join this much-awaited online salon to discuss how we can reclaim our lives from the clutches of all-consuming work. Hosted by writer Elaine Wang.
Many entangle their identities with their jobs, with predictable damage to happiness, wellbeing, and even professional success. The shift to remote work during the pandemic led some to question the role of work in their lives, and those questions have persisted even as many companies herald a return to the office. In this timely SuperSalon with Simone Stolzoff, we’ll be discussing the themes in his book, including the notion of the “dream job,” the cultural evolution of work in American life, the myths we tell ourselves about the meaning and value of work, and what it means for a job to be “good enough.”
