Prof. Christopher Wong Michaelson and Prof. Jennifer Tosti-Kharas share invaluable insights from their widely acclaimed book, “Is Your Work Worth It? How to Think About Meaningful Work.”

A profound exploration of the critical questions we must ask about our work and the value it brings to our lives and society. Recent studies reveal that only a third of American workers - and even fewer globally - feel truly "engaged" at work, while nearly half are "unhappy" with their jobs. In a post-pandemic world marked by economic uncertainty and shifting job markets, many are left questioning: Is my work worth it?

In Is Your Work Worth It?, a distinguished philosopher and an organizational psychologist delve into the purpose of work and its significance in our lives. The book poses essential questions, including:

• When and how much should we work?
• Should I work for love or money?
• What would make life meaningful in a world without work?
• What lasting impact will my work have?

Blending rigorous scholarship with cultural references from film and literature, along with real-life narratives, this insightful book helps us define meaningful work, navigate its trade-offs, and understand how our work contributes to the greater good.
