Des Moines Public Library business book pick: “Over Work: Transforming the Daily Grind in the Quest for a Better Life” by Brigid Schulte

Why you should read it: The bestselling author of “Overwhelmed” comes a deep examination of what she calls the greatest culprit in America’s “quality of life crisis”: how our economy and culture conceive of work. Americans of all backgrounds and socioeconomic levels report exhaustion, burnout and a dream of more meaningful lives. Schulte’s book explains how a full-system failure of our work structure is at fault, and offers big ideas on solutions.
