The Career Mystique: Cracks in the American Dream


Add your own review!

Overview

The Career Mystique examines taken-for-granted rules of the career game - that continuous, full-time, hard work pays off -- deeply embedded in the American Dream. Possibilities of fulfilling the career mystique are dwindling, given insecurities and risks of a global economy, strains and double demands on the job and at home, uncertainties and ambiguities around retirement. This outdated myth stands in the way of fashioning innovative policies more in keeping with life in 21st century America.

Reviews

In this compelling, clearly written, and well-researched book, Moen and Roehling make the best case I've seen for sustainable careers. If it's good for the environment, why shouldn't we do it for human beings? A powerful idea whose time has come.--Arlie Hochschild
