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.
WHY WE WORK
S I M O N S I N E KImagine a world where almost everyone
wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted
and valued during the day, then returns
home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy,
idealized notion. As Simon Sinek noticed in
his travels around the world, great leaders
create environments in which people
naturally work together to do remarkable
things. Far more common, unfortunately, are
teams that seem doomed to infighting,
fragmentation, and failure, no matter what
incentives are offered. But why? Find the
answer in the book.
