Radosti i jadi rada

Alain de Botton

British philosopher Alain de Botton, a master of elegant meditations on everyday life, in this book explores work not as an obligation, but as an existential phenomenon full of contrasts: the joy of creativity and the misery of meaninglessness.

"The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work", another in a series of bestsellers by the world-famous Alain de Botton (1969), ingeniously and humorously analyzes the peculiarities of today's professions. The philosopher, who tells us about major topics in an accessible and digestible literary way, this time answers questions such as: Why do we work? How do we choose a profession? What does it really mean to us? What makes it pleasant and what makes it unpleasant? In the name of what do we agree to exhaust ourselves daily at work? How can a decision about a profession made at an early age determine (and sometimes irreversibly ruin) our lives?
