The Edge of Work

S2:E19: What’s a Good Enough Job?


Listen Later

Simone Stolzoff is the Author of The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work.

Through his diverse experiences in advertising, tech, journalism, and design, Simone has developed a unique understanding of the evolving world of work. 

In his book, "The Good Enough Job," Simone explores the idea of an alternative path to fulfillment in work and in your career, and instead of striving for a job you love, you just find a good enough job. By exploring this topic and featuring the stories of a handful of individuals who have lived this concept in real-time, Simone offers some insights to others navigating their jobs and careers in a complex world of work.  

In this episode, we explore thoughtful questions about the changing world of work, including:

  • The idea of a good enough job for a satisfying life.
  • Discovering the importance of personal success metrics in the workplace.
  • Reviewing the connection between self-awareness and work-life balance.
  • Acknowledging the role that employers, governments and society plan in recreating a world of work
  • Delve into cultural perspectives on labor and work appreciation.
