The speaker introduced this book which argued against the notion that work causes societal pain, instead asserting that humans are created to work, and that work provides unique meaning and purpose in life.

The speaker introduced this book which argued against the notion that work causes societal pain, instead asserting that humans are created to work, and that work provides unique meaning and purpose in life. It countered the trend of books encouraging people to work less, emphasizing that a low view of work leads to poor cultural attitudes and policy proposals.
I'd like to talk to you about a new book, Full Time Work and the Meaning of Life by David Bonson. In a time where work is being heralded as the cause of societal pain, depression and anxiety, Full Time is screaming the exact opposite. That we're created to work and that our work provides unique meaning and purpose in our lives.
In Full Time, Bonson makes the case that our understanding of work and its role in our lives is deeply flawed. He argues that the time has come to stop tiptoeing around the issues that matter, that separating one's identity from what they do is demonstrably false and that a low view of work is leading to disastrous policy proposals and cultural attitudes.
It is in work of every kind that we discover our meaning and purpose. A significant and successful life is one rooted in full-time productivity and cultivation of God's created world. A life of meaning is right under your nose and with it the joy and peace of a life well lived.
