Anita wants to move from making utility ceramics to fine-art sculpture but her pent-up dissatisfaction results in an outburst that puts her studio mate's work at risk. Sandra juggles her practical administrative day job at a startup with her wellness-influencer channel, finding both in jeopardy when a messy affair with a coworker comes to light. In another corner of the same startup, Dex's innovative ideas are rejected, leading him to spend his days hacking and working as a bike courier. All three are disillusioned with the daily grind. As the pressure for self-improvement builds, they end up looking to the same therapist for answers"--

Over work : transforming the daily grind in the quest for a better life / by Schulte, Brigid,1962-author.(CARDINAL)405800;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 309-400) and index.Prologue: Meaning, fairness, cooperation -- American Karoshi -- Yearning for a great reimagination -- The wicked problem of redesigning work -- Workers rising: more than clapping for essential work -- Unlikely allies and the business case for responsible capitalism -- Workaholics in an overworked world -- From grief to rage in action: fighting for a decent life in Japan's Karoshi culture -- Beyond work -- Appendix I: How to change: tools and strategies to make work better -- Appendix II: The problem with work stress and how to solve it."From the New York Times bestselling author of Overwhelmed, a deeply reported exploration of why American work isn't working and how our lives can be made more meaningful Following Overwhelmed, Brigid Schulte's groundbreaking examination of time management and stress, the prize-winning journalist now turns her attention to the greatest culprit in America's quality-of-life crisis: the way our economy and culture conceive of work. Americans across all demographics, industries, and socioeconomic levels report exhaustion, burnout, and the wish for more meaningful lives. This full-system failure in our structure of work affects everything from gender inequality to domestic stability, and it even shortens our lifespans. Drawing on years of research, Schulte traces the arc of our discontent, from a time before the 1980s, when work was compatible with well-being and allowed a single earner to support a family, until today, with millions of people working multiple hourly jobs or in white-collar positions where no hours are ever off-duty. She casts a wide net in search of solutions, exploring the movement to institute a four-day workweek, introducing Japan's Housewives Brigade-which demands legal protection for family time-and embedding with CEOs who are making the business case for humane conditions. And she demonstrates the power of a collective and creative demand for change, showing that work can be organized in an infinite number of ways that are good for humans and for business. Fiercely argued and vividly told, rich with stories and informed by deep investigation, Over Work lays out a clear vision for ending our punishing grind and reclaiming leisure, joy, and meaning"--

Elevating the human experience : three paths to love & worth at work / by Dunlop, Amelia,Author(DLC)no2021081374;
"Elevating the Human Experience: Three Paths to Love and Worth at Work is a book for anyone who knows what it is to struggle to feel loved and worthy when showing up at work. It is for people who struggle to bring their authentic identities to work, because they are female, Black, brown, gay, or any of these intersections. It is also for the people who have no idea what it may feel like to struggle every day just to feel loved and worthy, but love people and lead people who do. With equal parts courage and insight, Amelia Dunlop tells her story of what it means to discover her own sense of love and worth in her twenty-year career as a management consultant at the world's largest professional services firm. "I was always either a management consultant or Mama. I was never just a woman named Amelia, worthy of love, whether at home or at work." She talks candidly about how hard it is to be a woman measured by a "male yardstick when you lack a Y chromosome." Dunlop had a hypothesis that she might not be the only one showing up at work feeling unworthy. "According to our 6000-person Love and Worth quantitative study, almost 90% of people agreed or strongly agreed that it matters to them to feel worthy. And yet, almost five out of ten people indicated that they sometimes, often, or always struggle to feel worthy." ..."--.
