When work stops working.
Work is woven into the fabric of modern life — it defines, rewards, and consumes us. The answer and the enemy.
The Way of Work is for people who want to push beyond its limits to rediscover something new.
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.
“So well written. Sophisticated ideas in refreshingly clear prose.”
- Christopher Morris, PhD, Assistant Professor, George Mason
About Rick Foerster
I’m a recovering startup guy who helped build a multi-billion-dollar company from zero. It’s the kind of career that’s supposed to fill the void and answer questions.
It didn’t.
So I stepped away, and left it all behind.
Since leaving the traditional working world, I’ve been exploring identity loss, midlife reinvention, and the way work warps our sense of who we are.
I’ve realized that others, like me, are grappling with similar questions, and are just as sick of the same shallow bullshit that passes for work advice.
We deserve better. We deserve a more honest look at the way work actually works, and what it can (and can’t) give us.
