Description

One of the most important works of modern philosophy by Alain de Botton, author of the books "The Course of Love", "The Consolations of Philosophy", "Religion for Atheists", and "The School of Life". A logical journey into the state that most of us experience in our lives.

Our work defines us. Without it, we are at a loss, while through it we hope to have a measure of control over our lives. However, for many of us, work is a restrictive framework from which we cannot break free.

Using the humor and wisdom of great artists, writers, and thinkers, Alain de Botton explores the love-hate relationship we have with our jobs. He poses and answers questions such as: "What should I do with my life?" and "What will I have achieved when I retire?"

"The Joy and Sorrow of Work" explains why we do what we do throughout the day and applies sympathy, humor, and insight to help us make the most of what we do.
