About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The Good Enough Job reminds us that the biggest goal of all is to live a life we are happy with, and in which work is but one of the multitude of facets that make us who we are. An antidote to the toxic #hustle movement convincing us all we need to find fulfilment in the office, it denounces the dangers of burnout linked to those of us who cannot answer the question: beyond work, what's left?
Conversations of burnout have bubbled to the top of the cultural zeitgeist as the line between work and not-work continues to blur. Burnout and workaholism are symptoms of a deeper root cause: a lack of separation between who we are and what we do. This book is not a credo against looking to work for fulfilment, nor is it in favour of treating work as a necessary evil. It is a guide to developing a healthier relationship to work through the stories of people who have successfully done so. These are stories that invite us to re-evaluate what makes us happy, and how we can work to live, rather than the other way round.

Life changing!
I read this book and an inflection point in my life. After facing a life threatening illness I was beginning question my priorities. This book gave me a fresh perspective on work and what is actually important to me. I resigned. Thanks Simone!

Concise and engaging
A fresh perspective in the self improvement space. Stories were engaging and communicated a clear message. A must listen for anyone who has found their passion for their job is eating them alive.
