About this episode

Is the “Dream Job” dead? With Pew Research reporting that Americans are 2x more likely to name their career than their spouse when asked what gives their lives meaning, it makes the case that, at the very least, we should reevaluate just how much space we let work take up in our lives. In this episode, Tori sits down with Simone Stolzoff, author of The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work, to talk about our infatuation with our jobs and how this obsession often ultimately leads to disappointment and burnout.
