Description
Why do we work? And why do we work so obsessively? Al Gini observes that work rules, runs and sometimes ruins our lives. But what is intriguing is that in spite of this, many of us come to love, or at least need, that which holds us captive. In this provocative, lively, and sometimes disturbing meditation, Gini reveals that work is not only a fundamental aspect of our humanity, but a profound reflection of our deepest selves. Peppered with real voices from workers and employers across American, and with references from psychology, history, popular literature and economics, “My Job, My Self, ” speaks to every employed person who has yet to understand the costs and challenges of a lifetime of labor.
