Shadow Work studies the way we build our days between awakening and going to sleep, the way our work goes deeper than we may think, and the way some tasks that seem so small during the days takes more and more importance in our life, all those little unpaid, time-consuming tasks (and also the increase of self-service in our daily lives) that we don't usually see reveal to be quite big under this review...
While the book was quite interesting and enlightening, on some point it felt a bit as a lament. While the fact that we're losing a lot of time commuting for our works (which could be solved easily by increasing remote working), the self-service increase in our daily lives didn't seem quite a big deal for me, as it ends taking me less time than the previous model.
One in one, this book helps to be more aware on the way we spend our time, which is the only ressource we're not able to renew, and to think about it and, as much as possible, erase all those things wasting our time. A good lesson at the end.
