Emily's heart raced as she walked down the quaint, cobblestone street of Maple Lane, each step awakening a flood of memories from a time long past. The familiar sights of her childhood neighbourhood, with its charming cottages and blooming gardens, were like a balm to her weary soul. She had left this place years ago, determined to carve out a new life in the city, but now, as she returned, she felt as though she'd never left. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of roses and freshly cut grass, transporting her back to those carefree summer days. She remembered how she and Jack, her first love, had spent countless hours sitting on the porch, sharing dreams and laughter under the warm, golden sun. They were inseparable, two halves of a whole, until life took them down different paths.

The morning sun cast a golden hue over the quaint village, its rays gently coaxing the sleepy hamlet to life. Elizabeth Bennett, with her hair tied back in a simple ribbon, stood by the open window, watching the world awaken. The early spring air was still crisp, carrying the promise of warmer days. As the village stirred, Elizabeth's mind wandered to the letter that lay unopened on the mantelpiece. It had arrived the day before, its seal unbroken, its contents a mystery. Her heart fluttered with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. The handwriting was unmistakably that of James, her childhood friend who had left for the city years ago to pursue his dreams. She sighed, her thoughts drifting back to their last encounter. It had been a bittersweet farewell, filled with unspoken words and unacknowledged feelings. Since then, their communication had been sporadic, confined to brief letters and the occasional, carefully-worded note. Turning away from the window, Elizabeth finally gathered the courage to break the seal. The letter unfolded easily, revealing James's familiar script. His words were warm, recounting his life in the city, his successes, and his challenges. But as she read on, a different tone emerged, one that spoke of longing and reflection.

A deeply-reported examination of why "doing what you love" is a recipe for exploitation, creating a new tyranny of work in which we cheerily acquiesce to doing jobs that take over our lives. You're told that if you "do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." Whether it's working for "exposure" and "experience," or enduring poor treatment in the name of "being part of the family," all employees are pushed to make sacrifices for the privilege of being able to do what we love. In Work Won't Love You Back, Sarah Jaffe, a preeminent voice on labor, inequality, and social movements, examines this "labor of love" myth—the idea that certain work is not really work, and therefore should be done out of passion instead of pay. Told through the lives and experiences of workers in various industries—from the unpaid intern, to the overworked teacher, to the nonprofit worker and even the professional athlete—Jaffe reveals how all of us have been tricked into buying into a new tyranny of work. As Jaffe argues, understanding the trap of the labor of love will empower us to work less and demand what our work is worth. And once freed from those binds, we can finally figure out what actually gives us joy, pleasure, and satisfaction.
