Let's Love To Work
How People Create Careers They Love
The traditional approach to motivating people at work is broken. In Let's Love To Work, Rebecca Longman explains why: employees give up their agency over how, where, and what they do for work, and the systems designed to help rarely give it back. This book shows how to reclaim it.
Based on interviews with people from a range of careers who genuinely love their work, the book reveals what they have in common. They have each shaped their working lives into ones that fulfil them. They love the majority of their work, and they have found ways to shed the parts that do not.

"Why is it that so many people hate work? And why don't the systems designed to help them be more motivated and productive work better?"
For too long, we have focused on employee engagement as something organisations do to people. We assume motivation at work is down to policies, procedures, and managers. But employee engagement is a two-way street. People can reclaim control of their working lives by becoming agents of their own careers. This book shows how.
