Why this book?

In the last two years, we have all experienced several lockdowns and a significant switch to either a fully remote or hybrid model of working. Tools such as Zoom, Teams, Slack and others are now commonly used by millions of workers across the globe.

In his famous book, David Graeber brilliantly described the phenomenon of “bullshit jobs”. The Covid-19 crisis and widespread remote working have further revealed and amplified this phenomenon by removing the office rituals from our daily routine. The work today is mainly done via conference calls, thus creating what our kids first described as “allo blah blah” jobs. This combination of bullshit jobs and absence of social bonds has an obvious impact on the physical and mental health of employees. More than ever, employees feel the urge to break this pattern and find true meaning in their work.

Like many other employees, we faced those challenges over an extended period of time. Following an extensive introspection and research, we had the idea of writing this book, where we share our personal stories but above all tips and advice to make you better equipped for "allo blah blah" jobs.

We tend to stay in these jobs that make us unhappy because we forget who we are, our true nature and our infinite potential. Thus, we decided to reflect on spirituality in its purest (and non religious) form as an antidote to this phenomenon. Finally, we included a practical toolkit to rediscover freedom and inner peace beyond work.

A MUST read !
"I loved every bit of it since I have been myself through this blah blah jobs circles. What's interesting about this book is that it's based on a deep personal experiences from the inside, and not just some scientist observing this phenomena from the outside. Also, beside describing the problem, it provides some tips and tools tested and approved by the two writers themselves which is quite interesting. I highly recommend it."

Highly enjoyable
"As someone working in an "allo blah blah" job (albeit one I quite like) I really enjoyed this book. It was depressing and uplifting, funny, and even moving at times. While the spiritualism part isn't for me personally, I found it fascinating how 2 rational engineers discovered their spiritual side. I hope the authors have found or will find their purpose as I believe they have the potential to be a force for positive change in the (corporate) world."
