Thinking of work primarily as a burden - is a thought that was shared by the philosophers in ancient Greece, who generally regarded work as a terrible curse. And yet, research shows that it prolongs life. This book argues that we need to complete this reorientation of our feelings about work and collapse the differences between leisure and work.

This book is very well written, covers lots of interesting and complex material in a clear and entertaining way. I read it in a day. Great for anyone studying business, organisation and sociology. I can't recommend it highly enough.
