We can put huge amounts of physical and emotional energy into our
jobs - even basing our self-worth on our achievements at work and
letting ourselves be defined by what we do. So have our careers
taken over too much of our lives?

Simone Stolzoff (author of The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life
from Work) argues that we should stop hunting for the "perfect"
job - that idealized career that will prove to others how smart,
industrious or virtuous we are - and instead find an occupation
that allows to us live happier and more rounded lives that don't
revolve only around work.
