In this book, Jaffe speaks to the effect that we are all dependent upon someone else for our happiness. We need someone to support and love us, as well as pay our bills. But in return, this unconditional devotion leaves us exhausted and alone.
In the book, Jaffe explores how devotion to our jobs keeps us exploited and exhausted. She shows how corporations exploit employees by convincing them that they are struggling without their job while simultaneously making it impossible for employees to thrive in their work environment. She argues that this happens because of the "work ethic" instilled in society through schools and media.
