| Meditation? Should I take notes, or just sit? |
This is how
not to do your online conferences.
Online meditation practice is different. For one thing, meditation is voluntary. For another, meaning makes all the difference. A bullsh*t job kills us, whereas meaningful meditation elevates us.
Bullshit Jobs: A Theory
From bestselling writer
David Graeber comes a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs and their consequences.
Does
your job make a meaningful contribution to society or the world? In the spring of 2013,
David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled "On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs."

| My work gives my life danger but meaning (CCupps). |
It went viral. After a million online views in 17 different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer.
There are millions of people -- corporate analysts, consultants, marketers, adjusters, assistants, co-managers, coordinators, rubber stampers, lawyers -- whose jobs are useless and, tragically,
they know it!

| I don't give a sh*t about my job. *Burp* |
These people are caught in "bullshit" jobs. Graeber explores one of society's most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a particular strain of
finance capitalism that betrays ideals shared by thinkers ranging from Keynes to Lincoln.
Bullshit Jobs gives individuals, corporations, and societies permission to undergo a shift in values, placing creative and caring work at the center of our culture. This book is for everyone who wants to turn their vocation back into an avocation.
