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.

When I started writing this book, I wasn’t sure if I would live long enough to finish it. My drug addiction was so unmanageably bad, I truly believed that I was doomed to fail. I had so many secrets, hidden thoughts, and feelings that I felt it was very important for me to document my life in such a way that it would help explain some things to my family that I have kept in the dark, to shed some light as to who I was as a person. Because I truly felt like I was running out of time and I didn’t know what else to do but to write somewhat of a love letter/goodbye letter to my friends and family. Then as my sobriety became stronger, I decided to leave everything as it was but add lessons that I have learned along the way. Now, much of this book has become mostly what I’ve learned before and during my sobriety with the intention of sharing my experiences for the reader to relate to on an emotional level, to inspire everyone and anyone searching for a deeper understanding of life and spiritual wisdom. I believe I am only scratching the surface of what is possible. But I know I’m on to something good. This is the type of good that should be shared with anyone who is seeking it. I wouldn’t be doing the universe any favors by keeping this information all to myself. This is a spiritual book about life—my life, your life, and all life. From the smallest life-forms to the largest. This is a book about the past, the present, and the possible future. I believe all people have unique qualities that make them individuals. I also believe, on a fundamental level, that all people are the same. If I can understand my life, I can understand all life. Everything we say and do is a reflection of how we see ourselves and how we see the world. We are living in a modern society where all the information of the world is at our fingertips, good and bad. As our intelligence increases, the likelihood of depression increases with it. Unless you know how to counter it. How much is a quiet, peaceful mind worth to you? This book combines mind, body, spirit, psychology, religion, and science all in one. Mainly because they are all connected and we can’t fully comprehend the full complex simplicity of life if we leave one of them out.

Online bullying has become a catchphrase for our day. No longer the traditional bullying in the schoolyard, it casts a much wider net. In The Sharpies, the stereotypes of bully and victim are far more nuanced. When a violent act occurs, suspicion is cast on all the characters, for nothing is as simple as it appears. A documentary crew descends on a suburban city in Ohio, centering on four young women who'd been dubbed the Sharpies ten years before. The interviews disclose the story of three close friends—Andi, Shaye, and Phoebe—who come across a new girl, Mabel. Andi is sharp-witted; Shaye, dramatic and beautiful; and Phoebe, kind and welcoming. Mabel is poor, from a dysfunctional family, and craves their friendship. They attend the same church, and Phoebe invites Mabel to their youth activities. Andi and Shaye soon resent the time Mabel spends with Phoebe and becomes suspicious of the attention she demands of her. Throughout the summer, tensions rise. Mabel relishes the comforts of the Doon family while Andi considers her manipulative and strange. When school begins, things only erode further. Phoebe becomes wary of Mabel as she continues to dominate, but for the most part, they view her as harmless. Yet when the girls are sent to the principal's office with evidence of photos posted from Phoebe's computer, and then later, a violent crime, it begins the onslaught of public opinion and criminal charges. Andi is as passionate about Phoebe's innocence as Mabel is about her own. Also dispersed are recollections from the youth pastor, a police investigator, and school officials, which cast enough doubt about who the real culprit is. There are those who know more to story and those who are willfully blinded to the truth.
