   May 2021 — Present

   My first book, THE GOOD ENOUGH JOB, was published by Penguin Random House in May, 2023. In the book, I examine how work has eclipsed faith and friends as a source of meaning in Americans\' lives and the double-edged sword of looking to work as our primary source of identity and meaning.
