SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Why We work
DESCRIPTION:Participants do not need to read the entire book ahead of time. A professional facilitator will be present to spur the dialogue and encourage meaningful conversations.\nWhy do we work? The question seems so simple. But Professor Barry Schwartz proves that the answer is surprising\, complex\, and urgent.\nWe’ve long been taught that the reason we work is primarily for a pay check. In fact\, we’ve shaped much of the infrastructure of our society to accommodate this belief. Then why are so many people dissatisfied with their work\, despite healthy compensation? And why do so many people find immense fulfillment and satisfaction through “menial” jobs? Schwartz explores why so many believe that the goal for working should be to earn money\, how we arrived to believe that paying workers more leads to better work\, and why this has made our society confused\, unhappy\, and has established a dangerously misguided system.\nThrough fascinating studies and compelling anecdotes\, this book dispels these myths.\nSchwartz proves that the root of what drives us to do good work can rarely be incentivized.\nJoin Mark Wittig’s San Antonio Book Reviews on January 16th\, 2016 to see how we can take steps toward understanding\, and empowering us all to find great work. \nRSVP required: wittig@wittigs.com ; No more than 60 participants \n
