Alain de Botton

What does work mean to us? Why do we do it? What makes it
pleasurable? Alain de Botton's gift for looking deeply behind the
ordinary, taken-for-granted things in our lives has won him huge
popularity. In this event he brings us The Pleasure and Sorrows
of Work, his new book in which he explores our daily grind with
all his customary imagination, wit and lucidity.
