Bullshit jobs by David Graeber. It fundamentally makes you question how senseless human existence is due to our 9 to 5, bullshit-driven, Western corporate jobs (although work life in China and Japan is probably even worse, so the part of Western is just my perspective).
It's a great book to not take work so seriously, and start making the best of being able to "work" from home.
It's also very interesting to see how a usual work day has changed through out history and how work obsessed modern society has become in comparison to past societies.
- marttt 5y agoI just started "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity" [1] by Graeber and David Wengrow. I'm only through a few dozen pages, but it's definitely a compelling read in terms of how it's written. Graeber's last book, sadly. 1: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/31/arts/dawn-of-everything-graeber-wengrow.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/31/arts/dawn-of-everything-g...
