Description
The way we work is broken. How do we fix it?
The rise of quiet quitting and bare minimum Mondays, the realisation that 'dream jobs' are as rare as unicorns and a shared sense of growing disillusionment are all signs that our relationship with work has reached breaking point. For many of us, it can feel like there are only two options to choose from when it comes to our career: relentless burnout or stifling boreout.In Working on Purpose, journalist Ellen C. Scott offers a 360-degree approach to better understanding our relationship with work, from generational differences to the benefits of individual work styles to restoring the balance between our professional and personal time.This empowering and clear-sighted guide is brimming with practical exercises, hacks and uplifting advice for anyone who wants to bring a renewed sense of purpose to their work. Because work shouldn't just be about getting through the day - instead it can be an opportunity to actively cultivate joy and meaning. It's time to change the way we approach our careers. It's time to work on purpose - and this book is your guide to doing just that.About the Author
