This is a new book, and my copy arrived this morning; really looking forward to reading it. By, Matthew Crawford, it is subtitled '- or why the office is bad for us and fixing things feels good'
From the cover:
'A beautiful little book about human excellence' - NYT
'A deep exploration of craftsmanship by someone with real hands-on knowledge. Quirky, surprising and moving' - Richard Sennett
'A superb combination of testimony and reflection, and you can't put it down' - Harvey mansfield
'A stunning indicment of the modern workplace... Crawford points in the direction of a richer, more fulfilling way of life. This is a book that will endure' - Reihan Salam
'A masterpiece filled with surprises' - Dallas Morning News
'No-one who cares aboutt he future of human work can afford to ignore this book' - Jackson Lears
'The best self-help book that I've ver read. Kind of like Heidigger and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' - Slate
Will report back when I've read it - can't wait to get started :)
