The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work by Simone Stolzoff

BATB score: 10/10

*BATB re-read yep, this book is the real deal*

Best for: any overachiever employee about to jump into another big crazy role and about to autopilot go! fight! win! all in baby!

Best as: when we shift from working for money to working for pride and meaning of life, that’s when all hell breaks loose

Best to: “You are not the work you do; you are the person you are.” Chill! We gotta chill!

Best quotes: “He who knows he has enough is rich.”

“Work will always be work. Some people work doing what they love. Other people work so that they can do what they love when they’re not working. Neither is more noble.”

“Productivity and taking time off are yin and yang. The ability to disengage, relax, and recharge is as important as being ambitious, organized, and productive.”

“The problem with this gospel - your dream job is out there, so never stop hustling - is that it’s a blueprint for spiritual and physical exhaustion. It is a diabolical game that creates a prize so tantalizing yet rare that almost nobody wins, but everyone feels obligated to play forever.”
