Synopsis

"Work hard, get paid." Sounds fair, right?
But for most of us, it’s a lie.

***Evening Standard’s Best Non-Fiction 2021***
'Horgan’s suggestions will appeal to anyone who has ever done a job they hated…' -The Guardian
'A brilliant, searing exposé of the lies underpinning work' - Owen Jones
'A perceptive philosophical account of what work is, what it does to us, and how we can reorganise it' - New Statesman

Written by leading political thinker featured in The Guardian, VICE, and Tribune, Amelia Horgan’s Lost in Work breaks down how work became so joyless, stressful, and broken - especially for young people. Whether it’s low pay, burnout, or feeling like you’re stuck on a treadmill going nowhere, this book helps you understand why work feels so bad - and how we can change it.

Perfect for students, first-time workers, and anyone asking: “Is this it?”, Lost in Work highlights:
• Why the system is rigged…. and who benefits
• How work harms our mental health and steals our time
• The truth about job security, hustle culture, and burnout
• Real ideas for fighting back and reclaiming control

Written by a leading political thinker featured in The Guardian, VICE, and Tribune, Lost in Work is essential reading for a generation rethinking what work should be…. and imagining something better.
