The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work by Alain de Botton
The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work by Alain de Botton
posted Jun 29th 2009 at 05:00 PM
Work brings us pleasure because it allows us to pay the bills, but it causes us sorrow because we actually have to show up every day. Alain de Botton, however, suspected there might be something more to it than that, so he wrote this book exploring ten very different industries, from accounting to biscuit manufacturing, in order to help us fully understand the joys and perils of the working world.
