Alain de Botton

With wit, poignancy, and wisdom, 'The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work' explores our perils and fulfilment within the modern workplace. Author Alain de Botton journeys his readers through a broad spectrum of occupations, from rocket scientist to biscuit manufacturer, from accountant to artist—in search of what makes 'work' either emotionally destructive or gratifying. ↓

Personal note. I fell in love with the title of this book immediately at my neighbourhood bookshop, and it was with the greatest pleasure to glimpse upon its beautifully designed interior pages—so very atypical of trade paperback pressings. A heartfelt applause to Vintage International and, of course, to Mister de Botton for his unwaveringly precise prose!
