Extracts from the book:

On Meaningful Work

“We are taught by economics to think for ourselves as, for the most part, selfish creatures. It can seem as if what we primarily want from work is money. What is far more striking is the extent to which we require work to be – as we put it – ‘meaningful’. A job can pay well and offer immense prestige, but, unless is it meaningful, it may eventually stifle us and crush our spirits.”
