The book explores the modern-day myth that work should be a source of personal fulfillment and passion, arguing that this belief often leads to exploitation and dissatisfaction. It examines various professions, from teaching to the arts, highlighting how the expectation of deriving joy from work can mask poor working conditions and inadequate compensation. Through interviews and analysis, the book critiques the notion that loving one's job is a substitute for fair labor practices and advocates for a reevaluation of how society values work and workers.
