Ask HN: What you up to? (Who doesn't want to be hired?)
I think you're too easily taking for granted that having a job makes one a productive member of society.Evergreen link: https://www.amazon.com/Bullshit-Jobs-Theory-David-Graeber/dp...

Ask HN: Recommend books that give you insight into other professions
Gig: Americans Talk About Their Jobshttps://www.amazon.com/Gig-Americans-Talk-About-Their/dp/060...
It's basically a series of interviews with people across various industries talking about their jobs. Not exactly "memoir"-style but more of an anthology.

A personal favorite that I read alongside the first recommendation. Just puts a lot of things in perspective with respect to finding meaningful work.
⬐ shickyWith bullshit jobs, could you expand on finding meaningful work? It's something that has eaten me up the last while (non meaningful work and being unsure what direction to head to find it)I've searched a few reviews of the book but largely seemed to focus on how many jobs are pointless rather than finding non pointless stuff
