While you will definitely be interested in this book if you are just starting out in your career, really it is a book for everyone who works (so…I think that covers pretty much all of you?). I hesitate to tell you it’s about economics and philosophy, because that might scare you off, but Tokumitsu talks about unpaid work, careers based on “passion,” capitalism, and what she calls “hope labour” in an engaging, eye-opening, and meticulously-researched way. I don’t think you’ll look at your job the same way again…and that’s a good thing. If you like this, I’d recommend [b:The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now|13523061|The Defining Decade Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now|Meg Jay|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1334798998s/13523061.jpg|19083750]…it’s a slightly different subject, and more focused on 20-somethings, but will appeal for similar reasons.
