Thanks for all the recommendations. Added a few of them to my reading list. A few others to consider:

- Work, by James Suzeman >> anthropologist’s take on how work evolved (including how hunter-gatherers only worked 15 hrs a week)

- The Burnout Society, by Byung Chul-Han >> how no one is exploiting us, but more frightening, we now exploit ourselves

- Moral Mazes, by Robert Jackall >> best combo of insightful + dark humor, into a look at politics in corporate life
