Drawing on journalism, labor history, and interviews across a range of occupations, the book examines the idea that work should function as a labor of love, with passion, identity, and personal fulfillment expected to replace fair pay or decent conditions. Jaffe argues that this cultural script is not harmless inspiration but a system that helps normalize overwork, low wages, insecurity, and emotional attachment to employers. The book is both critique and intervention: it challenges readers to see how devotion to work can obscure exploitation and to consider collective organizing as a more realistic response than individual commitment alone. Its purpose is to clarify why work feels so consuming in contemporary life and why that intensity often benefits employers more than workers.
