25 分钟Hi there.
As you may know, over the past few weeks, In Conversation has been running a series called Think Again.
It's all about how to reimagine work, home and more.
Today, as part of the series, we're bringing you a special episode from our archives about our relationship to work.
Hope you enjoy it.
This is In Conversation from Apple News.
I'm Shemitah Basu.
Today, how to rethink the way you work.
How's your relationship to your job?
Does it feel healthy, sustainable?
For a lot of people, it got worse during the pandemic.
One survey in 2021 found more than a third of the men and nearly half of the women polled said that they often felt burned out at work.
Another poll found American workers are some of the most stressed in the world.
So what's going wrong here?
Burnout is a reaction to growth capitalism.
It is a reaction to feeling like you are unstable and don't have a safety net.
And the only way that you're going to find stability is by working all the time.
That's the journalist Anne Helen Peterson.
She thinks and writes a lot about work and our relationship to it, including why for so many people, your work has become your entire identity.
And I think that a way to, to glamorize working all the time is to say, I'm doing what I love, right?
