The host introduced the new book and explained that it argues work is essential to human purpose rather than a source of pain.
I'd like to talk to you about a new book, Full Time, Work In 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 is 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.
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.
