Reviews

A moving examination of a flawed approach to work that suggests a society-wide means of dismantling the problem. * ForeWord Reviews * In mixing Thoreau with papal encyclicals, feminist thinkers with aristocratic philosophers, [Malesic] makes a persuasive case for the reorientation of our ideals surrounding work, and the proposition, catholic in every sense of the term, that acknowledgement of human dignity must precede any ability to demonstrate it. * The Bulwark * His acutely felt investigation of work burnout as an 'ailment of the soul' makes his the more thought-provoking and substantial of these two books. * TLS * Jonathan Malesic's intelligent and careful study,The End of Burnout, brings clarity to a muddled discussion. * The Baffler *
