12 Best Business Books at The Times

The Times of London chose Work Won’t Love You Back as one of its best business books of the year:

This relationship is entirely one-sided, as anyone who has slogged tirelessly at work only to get the boot can testify. Jaffe’s timely and punchy book explores how we’ve been sold a dud dream: told to find fulfilment and meaning from work, while job security evaporates and working conditions deteriorate.
