Currently Featured on the Monacle website is Alain de Botton's new book "The Pleasures and Sorrows of work"
In The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, Alain de Botton reveals why we need an art that can proclaim the intelligence, peculiarity, beauty and horror of the workplace and, not least, its extraordinary claim to be able to provide us, alongside love, with the principal source of life's meaning.
