Why We Work

by Barry Schwartz

First published 2015

We're told work is just about the paycheck, but bestselling author Barry Schwartz begs to differ. Through eye-opening stories of janitors, doctors, and others, he reveals the hidden rewards that can make even "menial" jobs deeply fulfilling. Schwartz shows how our wrongheaded emphasis on pay over purpose has confused and demotivated the workforce. Reclaim the sense of meaning that's essential to the human experience - and to doing our best work.
