“What a wonderful title: 'The Joy of Not Working'.
Ernie Zelinski’s basic message, no matter your
career stage, is get a well-balanced life and
quit relying on your job to define who you are.
It’s hard to quibble with Zelinski’s
live-life-to-the-fullest message. Those who have
drafted a resignation letter in their heads a
thousand times may be motivated to
finally quit an unfilling job.”
