About

Work is woven into the fabric of modern life. It defines us, rewards us, and consumes us. For a while, it feels like the answer…

Until it doesn’t.

The Way of Work is for mid-career professionals who are successful on paper, but suspect work can’t deliver what it promised—essays on meaning, identity, and ambition without the hustle-guru nonsense.

No productivity hacks.
No passion porn.
No cliché career advice.

Here, we explore the paradoxes of work: the promises it makes, the disappointments it delivers, and what happens when those promises stop delivering.
