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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Jaffe argues, understanding the trap of the labor of love will empower us to work less and demand what our work is worth.
