🧠 YOU’RE MORE INTERESTING THAN YOUR JOB TITLE: Why Identity Got Outsourced To Productivity

You’re More Interesting Than Your Job Title is a reflective examination of how modern life reduced identity to productivity and turned work into the primary way people define themselves. It explores how job titles quietly replaced personality, curiosity, and inner life, and why so many people feel disconnected from who they are outside of what they do.

This ebook looks at the cultural shift that made busyness a virtue, rest a guilt, and output a measure of worth. It addresses the subtle anxiety that appears when work slows down, the identity loss that comes with burnout, and the grief of realizing how much of yourself was set aside to remain “useful.”

Rather than offering advice or solutions, this book gives language to an experience many people share but rarely articulate. It invites reflection on the parts of you that don’t fit on a resume, don’t scale, and don’t need to be monetized to matter.

If you’ve ever felt defined by your job, uneasy without productivity, or unsure who you are when no one is watching, this book speaks to that quiet realization.
