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.
