About this listen

 Former CEO and tech millionaire Philip Su is saved from spiraling depression when he becomes an Amazon warehouse worker during Peak 2021, the company‘s busiest season from Black Friday to Christmas. Philip explores not only what it‘s like to go from earning seven figures in an air-conditioned office to working mandatory overtime for just above minimum wage, but also the impact of technology and automation on our collective futures and the unexpected blessing of resetting the hedonic treadmill.Spark Anvil, LLC Social Sciences
