Not exactly what I was expecting but overall interesting to hear other people’s experiences with their careers. Definitely a good reminder that your job is a means to an end and it doesn’t define you.
I agree with @3170669-gabriella’s take: "Nothing groundbreaking, but some good insights and reminders." While reading this book, I often found myself recommending it to friends. Its message strongly resonates with my own beliefs.

needed this // I have mixed feelings about this. The book only explored work/life separation for folks with wealth, not those who NEED to work to support themselves…

I thought this book was going to be pretty silly and very light and fluffy for my work-related non-fiction. But I actually find this book very poignant and interesting for anybody that's entered the workforce in the last 20 years. It talks a lot about your self-worth and how it relates to your job and your career. But I think it also gives a lot of advice on if you're a workaholic how you can change that perspective about yourself and perhaps even change your feelings about work. Definitely something I think millennials will really resonate with.

I enjoyed that each chapter touched on different aspects of work-life balance and who we are at work. The stories were insightful and drew lots of introspection but I wish overall there was a guide or outline to how we can better combat work fatigue.
As someone who has dealt with toxic jobs and burnout and career changes, this one hit home. Sometimes a job can just be a job- not our family or our worth or our future- and that’s okay. I wish there was a little more practical steps, but overall stellar messaging and helped me feel like I wasn’t crazy for experiencing the horrible things I have in jobs that were supposed to be the “dream”, or for reaching a point where I just want a job that’s “good enough.”
