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.

读后感
读完会笑，我觉得是对一本书最好的褒奖吧。 人们倾向于给自己的工作赋予意义，当人们把自己的工作视作有意义，甚至视为使命时，他做的就会超出“工作”和“职业”要求的范畴，工作就不再是一个养家糊口的饭碗，而变成了成就感、荣誉感和使命感的来源。 只有你给人们提供的工作...
评分 评分01 什么是动机排挤？ 我们知道，对于每个人，精神激励和物质激励，都能发挥非常强大的作用。 比如每天激励我们准时起床、挤地铁去上班的，是热爱吗？显然不是，是因为穷。 再比如激励老一辈革命领导人艰苦创业的，是金钱吗？显然不是，而是心中的那点“星星之火”。 但我们有没...
评分 评分本书是 TED 系列书籍，就是将一个 TED 深挖拓展成为一本小书。 本书概要如下： 1）工作动力应不仅来自金钱，更应来自自身，要符合天性去工作，工作的天性不是发现出来的，而是创造出来的。要从工作中寻求挑战、意义、成就和满足感。 2）带着使命感去工作。工作分三种，第一种是...
用户评价
读着不困难的一本书。对于常常对工作感到厌倦的我有很大启发。在其中没有找到意义，不觉得自己的工作对他人对社会有什么作用，遇到控制型老板都可以解释我的消极怠工。
评分路上听完的一本书，其中一个观点说工作可以避免孤独还挺有意思。人是一个复杂动物，尤其是一堆复杂的动物在一起的时候就更复杂了，奖励机制可以保证低限却不能激发积极主动的态度，有种人性本懒惰的倾向。良好的工作环境固然备受大家喜爱但也不能排除有时还是会高估人的自律能力。
评分观点新颖 文字高手
评分亚当斯密真是一代宗师，谈现代化绕不开亚当斯密。最后的结论太潦草，跟之前洋洋洒洒的调查对比引经据典相比太逊色，其实也没有很完备的给出“如何营造让人获得成就感工作”的方式方法。太理想化了。
评分算是一本管理的启蒙书吧，语句简练，同时科普了些心理学和经济学理论。
