Dear colleagues,

You've heard the address "dear colleagues" many times and you know exactly how much you earn. But how much does your work really cost you? Journalist and researcher of the history of the US labor movement Sarah Jaffe tells how false care, the crisis of the family, the history of slavery and the class struggle that has not disappeared manifest themselves in our professional relationships, and explains why the myth of love for work is so harmful. Where is the line between work and life? How does the idea of love for work allow people to be manipulated and what will help us to accurately recognize exploitation? What lessons can we learn from the history of labor rights activism? How can solidarity help our society in the face of labor automation and the disappearance of hundreds of professions? Sarah Jaffe's book will help you understand how not to become a victim of emotional burnout and what needs to be done to ensure that age-old dreams of work as a vocation do not remain just dreams.
