I feel fortunate that I have gotten out of bullshit jobs and have a job with a true calling that almost pays a living wage. That being said I spent many frustrating years of working life in this trap and this author discussing the psychological trauma caused by this was healing to hear. Everyone should read this book.

- more like a think piece than very well-proven scientific theory (but still very well-motivated!)
- includes a discussion of theories and morality of work -- which I found quite interesting

Didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know. Might be an enlightening read for someone who thinks that any job is "meaningful" to society at large.

Occasionally dry, but with many fascinating sections, especially the final chapter. Not sure I like this author's writing style but I'm very convinced by his argument.

One of those books that perfectly puts words to a phenomenon that you can feel all around you, but wouldn’t have articulated yourself.

Bullshit Jobs argues for a reexamination of many of the jobs and careers that currently exist in today's society. He explores the conditions that lead to many of these jobs as well as offering solutions to how we might create a more just and equitable future!

Listened to this on audiobook at my bullshit office job. We need a revolution.
