This is another good chapter, but again, I think it could have been beefed up a bit. There's a lot about being stuck on looking for the perfect job. But... what about being stuck to work, like a workaholic? We become stuck on an idyllic view of what the perfect job for us would be... lots of money, fame, etc. And the reality doesn't always match that image. And we get stuck thinking we're in a dead-end job or a dead-end career. But what do we really want from work? Do we expect too much? From it or from ourselves? Maybe we'd be happiest working as a janitor... But we think we need to be an engineer and we're just not suited for it... What is it that really makes us happy? What is it that gives us joy? And how much do we really need to live off of?
I thought it was a good book... it got me to see how stuck we can be... and not even realize it... which is the worst stuck of all! Cultures, religions and communities can be stuck too... It's just a good thing I think to take a look around and see what we are stuck on... or who!
