Summary

Bullshit Jobs Summary. David Graeber's Book. Meaningful job. Meaningful work.

The term “bullshit job” made a real impact when it first appeared, and for good reason: More and more people today have pointless jobs. They get paid to do nothing, they’re totally bored, they have to figure out how to deal with incompetent or narcissistic bosses, they drown in paperwork, and they have mindless tasks to perform. Quite frankly, this work shouldn’t exist at all. These so-called “jobs” aren’t worth it — they can even be dangerous. Any rational CEO would eliminate them altogether. So how do you explain their proliferation? Why does everyone bury their heads in the sand and just treat it as a given? Why does voluntary slavery exist, and why is there such widespread resentment? Are you a victim of the global conspiracy? This book will open your eyes to what’s really going on.

Why listen to this summary:

  • Save time.
  • Understand the key concepts.

Notice: This is a Be Fearless Summary of David Graeber's book. Not the original book.

Short, not dense book

The book is a summary of another book, hence it is hard to judge the content as this one ran already through the filter of someone else. If this book is accurate, then the original is pretty thin in terms of content. The examples given and what made them so unproductive seem singled out and not entirely convincing of what makes a BS job.

The narrator was doing a good job.

Suggesting UBI to address those BS jobs seems a bit of a stretch, despite the fact that it is a good idea for other reasons.

3/5 ⭐️
