The host introduced the new book and explained that it argues work is essential to human purpose, rejecting the idea that work is a source of societal harm.
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.
There's no shortage of books telling people to work less, to find balance, to think less of career, and more of things that bring them happiness. In Full Time, Bonson makes the case that our understanding of work and its role in our lives is deeply flawed.
Full Time argues 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.
A significant and successful life is one rooted in fulltime 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.
