How has it come to dominate our lives? And what should we do about it? Work makes us. Without it we are at a loss; in work we hope to have a measure of control over our lives. Yet for many of us, work is a straitjacket from which we cannot free ourselves. The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work will not only explain why it is we do what we do all day, but its sympathy, humour and insight seek to help us make the most of it.* This is a FINE copy of the 1st/1st thus with no visible faults.
