An eye-opening, groundbreaking travel of the purpose of work in our lives, exhibiting how work performs in our culture and ways to find your own path to happiness at work. Why do we work? The question seems so simple. But Professor Barry Schwartz shows that the answer is surprising, complex, and urgent. We've long been taught that the reason we work is mainly for a salary. In fact we've shaped a lot of the infrastructure of our society to accommodate this opinion. Then why are people dissatisfied using their work, despite healthy reimbursement? And why do so many people find enormous fulfillment and satisfaction through "menial" careers? Schwartz explores why so many believe the purpose of working should be to earn money, how we arrived to believe paying workers more brings about better work, and why it has made our culture confused and disappointed and has established a dangerously misguided system. Through attractive studies and powerful anecdotes, this publication dispels this myth. Schwartz needs us through hospitals and head of hair salons, auto plants and boardrooms, exhibiting workers in every strolls of life, showcasing the trends and habits that lead to contentment at work. Ultimately Schwartz shows that the main of what drives us to do good work can rarely be incentivized and this the cause of bad work is often an effort to do that. How do we reach this tangled place? Just how do we change the way we work? With great insight and intelligence, Schwartz shows us how to adopt our first steps toward understanding and empowering people to find great work.
