The Career Mystique: Cracks in the American Dream
In this compelling, clearly written, and well-researched book, Moen and Roehling make the best case I've seen for sustainable careers. If it's good for the environment, why shouldn't we do it for human beings? A powerful idea whose time has come. (Arlie Hochschild)The book provides interesting details, including international examples and excellent references. Highly recommended. (Choice)Worthy of attention. (Psychcritiques)Provokes a great deal of reflection in the reader, challenging us to think in new ways about a plethora of interconnected aspects of the social world. An accessible sociological text. (Work, Employment And Society)The Career Mystiqueis a chilling account of the mismatch between couples’ dreams and changing realities. Whether at work or at home, at any stage of adult life, nothing can be taken for granted anymore. This excellent book led me to conclude that we can no longer be complacent about the crisis we are in as family members and employees. (Rosanna Hertz)
