Do What You Love: And Other Lies About Success and Happiness by Miya Tokumitsu is a concise nonfiction critique of modern work culture, originally published in 2015. Rather than offering career advice, the book examines the popular idea that people should follow their passions and build identities around work they love. Tokumitsu argues that this ideal is not as universal or harmless as it appears. In practice, it often rewards people who already have financial security, access, and social advantages, while placing greater pressure on workers in precarious jobs, internships, freelance arrangements, and other low-security roles. The book is both cultural analysis and social critique, focused on how language about passion can obscure inequality. It is especially concerned with the way the rhetoric of self-fulfillment is used to normalize sacrifice, underpay labor, and shift responsibility for structural problems onto individuals.
