One of our leading philosophers and writers turns his attention to work in The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work. We spend most of our waking lives at work, and yet we rarely ask ourselves how we got there. De Botton heads out into the under-charted worlds of the office, the factory, the fishing fleet and the logistics centre. What makes work pleasurable? What is its meaning? And why do we daily exhaust not only ourselves but also the planet? De Botton is as lucid, witty and inventive as ever.
