I don’t think it’s ironic that you wrote this book and you’re grappling with these issues. That’s why you wrote the book. And people are reading it because they’re grappling alongside you. That’s a success story — making people less alone and helping them make sense of their lives, while you do the same.
I read the excerpt on the Cut a day before the release and was so excited to buy the audiobook on release day! I'm almost done the book and am so grateful for it. I just read Emily and Ameila Nagowski's Burnout just after leaving a toxic tech job, so this compliments nicely, especially the chapter on hustle culture. (I ended up working in tech after leaving journalism.) I relate to a lot of the book, but even the parts I don't relate to are still incredibly valuable to me.
