You may be leaving the United Nations. You may have left a Silicon Valley giant, a top consultancy, a ministry, a university with high walls, a global NGO. You may still be inside one of them, quietly circling the exit.
The flag on the building doesn’t matter. The mechanics don’t change.
If you have ever lent your beliefs to a big institution — handed it your conviction, your best years, your sense of what your work was for — then you have lived inside this gravity. You already know it in your body. This book just names it.
Adapted from Moon Ting Li’s manuscript ‘Institutional Gravity’, this audiobook is an anatomy of elite institutional life shaped by two gravitational forces: the pull from states and political interests toward an organization, and the pull from the organization toward the people who inhabit it, shaping their identities, perceptions, sense of authority, and what remains after they leave.
If you’ve recently exited a major institution and are finding your footing outside the frame, we’re casting for our Exit Interview series. More info here.
