An eye-opening, groundbreaking tour of the purpose of work in our lives, showing how work operates in our culture and how you can find your own path to happiness in the workplace.
Why do we work? The question seems so simple. But Professor Barry Schwartz proves that the answer is surprising, complex, and urgent.
We’ve long been taught that the reason we work is primarily for a paycheck. In fact, we’ve shaped much of the infrastructure of our society to accommodate this belief. Then why are so many people dissatisfied with their work, despite healthy compensation? And why do so many people find immense fulfillment and satisfaction through “menial” jobs? Schwartz explores why so many believe that the goal for working should be to earn money, how we arrived to believe that paying workers more leads to better work, and why this has made our society confused, unhappy, and has established a dangerously misguided system.
Through fascinating studies and compelling anecdotes, this book dispels this myth. Schwartz takes us through hospitals and hair salons, auto plants and boardrooms, showing workers in all walks of life, showcasing the trends and patterns that lead to happiness in the workplace. Ultimately, Schwartz proves that the root of what drives us to do good work can rarely be incentivized, and that the cause of bad work is often an attempt to do just that.
How did we get to this tangled place? How do we change the way we work? With great insight and wisdom, Schwartz shows us how to take our first steps toward understanding, and empowering us all to find great work.

"It is human nature to have a human nature that is very much the product of the society that surrounds us."
评分"each of us will have had a hand in creating a human nature that is worth living up to."
评分读的第二本原版鸡汤。虽然也有一些"eye-opening"的成分，但仅限于那些给的案例，其余就是不断地重复与句子成分重组。
评分老生常谈之论
评分想要让自己在工作中获得满足感，我们首先需要明确自己工作的目标，树立自己的信仰。几个高效工作机构的共同特征：给员工带来高度的安全感；支付超过市场水平的薪水，让员工感到自己的价值；有时候还需要定期培训，给员工足够的信任感。在未来，重视人性本身才能提升工作本身的意义。
