A deeply human exploration of how our relationship with work has evolved—and a guide for leaders who aim to make things right—from the author of The Burnout Epidemic.

Work has recently undergone profound changes, not all for the better.

AI's acceleration has led to worker fears and uncertainties around job security. DEI initiatives are underfunded or canceled. The debate over remote, hybrid, and in-person work is growing more heated. And study after study confirms a widespread sense of employee unhappiness in the workplace.

Workers are left to reexamine their relationship with work, asking themselves, Why are we here?

Workplace expert Jennifer Moss, author of The Burnout Epidemic, takes readers to the front lines of this historic shift. Through extensive interviews, she uncovers why work has changed and highlights the leaders and organizations who have managed to build cultures that everyone really wants.

Packed with fresh insights, new research, and compelling stories, Why Are We Here? illuminates this turbulent time and offers inspiration and practical guidance for leaders navigating our complex, ever-changing world.

Review

Advance Praise for Why Are We Here?:

"Jennifer Moss brings clarity to the complex question of purpose at work. This book is essential for leaders committed to building cultures of meaning and engagement." — Jon Clifton, CEO, Gallup

"Why Are We Here? offers a clear, hopeful path forward for anyone seeking to transform an untethered and polarized workforce into an engaged and resilient one. Moss shows us how returning to fundamental ideas like emotional intelligence and psychological safety can help us bring back what we've lost—namely community, hope, purpose, and a sense of humanity." — Amy Gallo, bestselling author of Getting Along; cohost of Harvard Business Review's Women at Work podcast

"In Why Are We Here? Jennifer Moss provides leaders with the right tools to build a positive, high-performing culture while navigating constant change. A timely and insightful read for anyone looking for a better way to lead right now and in the future." — Dorie Clark, Wall Street Journal–bestselling author of The Long Game; executive education faculty, Columbia Business School

"Another gem by Jennifer Moss; the book is full of compelling perspectives from today's workforce, emphasizing culture and the need to listen to our people as new work paradigms continue to evolve. Actionable ideas for leaders to consider and embrace are practical and much needed." — Bill Gorman, Chief Operating Officer, RSM US

"Through a compelling blend of research and real-life stories, Jennifer Moss illuminates the path to a purposeful work life. Offering practical tools, she empowers us to craft meaningful workplaces, proving that a fulfilling professional journey is not just a dream—it's within reach. Being a beacon of hope—that's why Jennifer Moss is here." — Whitney Johnson, CEO, Disruption Advisors; Top 10 Management Thinker, Thinkers 50; bestselling author, Smart Growth

"Jennifer Moss gives leaders the road map to build a culture in which recognition and belonging drive engagement and innovation. Her research-backed insights on how to build better emotional intelligence skills and purpose-driven leadership are invaluable for shaping the future of work." — Elaine Grell, Chief People Officer, Ogilvy EMEA

    A fundamental shift is needed in the modern workplace. In this book, Jennifer Moss brilliantly outlines the foundational, practical steps leaders can take to inspire and drive meaningful change. A must-read for leaders who know a change is needed but are not sure where to start.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A nuanced view of work and human behavior that is desperately needed right now
    Reviewed in Canada on February 14, 2025
    Such a powerful book to move the conversation from "helping people work better" to "making work better for people." If you are looking for a comprehensive, research supported view of how to truly make work better, and create places where people want to be and contribute their best work, this is the book.
