Brigid Schulte is a journalist and writer who brings a reporter's ear for stories to her exploration of modern work.
Over the course of a decade Schulte has talked to people about the impact their jobs has on their lives - and has explored any hope that we might be able to make this better.
Her new book, Over Work and paints a hopeful image of how we might fix the toxic elements of our jobs.
