“Sarah Jaffe is the author of Work Won’t Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keep Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone. She and Chris discuss the emotional toll of modern work culture and the importance of community. They also dive into Sarah’s newest book, From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire, and explore the idea that between pandemics, climate change, and economic inequality, many of us are feeling a huge (and often unacknowledged sense of grief. Sarah explains the concept of “disenfranchised grief” and how collective mourning can invite meaningful social connections.

I recently lost my father & work was very glazed over. The circumstances weren’t typical either & coworkers have always been unpleasant. I almost quit on the spot today & this came up in my feed. I do feel its time I leave this job but this gave me back my sanity, at least for the moment. Thank you.
