The Grind
Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of all work and no play? Check out these titles. A lot of these picks are satirical because when you’re going through the daily grind, sometimes it helps to laugh (instead of cry). At the very least, many of these stories will help you know you're not alone. If you're starting to question whether the career you've been chasing is worth the cost, these books can offer a sense of solidarity and perhaps some insight on what to do next.
