Your Job: Absurd or Necessary?

Work can be a double-edged sword, edged in both joy and sorrow. For most of us, the way we earn our money is tied closely to our identity, our individual triumphs and failures, and this is what author Alain de Botton wishes to express in his newest book, “The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work.”

Regardless of whether we are happy with our own occupations, we most likely have our own idea of which jobs are worthy or silly. However, de Botton’s aim is to point out the absurdity and also necessity, even beauty, of all jobs. Whether we are making rockets, typing away in an office, or delivering Thai food, all work is vital, not just as a means to pay our bills, but for the services we provide for others and even more for our own selves. Anyone interested in reading de Botton’s book may be interested in reading The Economist review first, “The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work.
