Thomas Moore on Meaningful Work

With Care of the Soul, Thomas Moore reawakened the world to the sacred pleasures of the soul. Now Moore looks at the linchpin of our days - work and career - and sees back into a time when opus (work) was considered to be a mirror of God’s creation of the world. On Meaningful Work offers Thomas Moore’s most complete vision of what we can do to restore fullness and depth to this dispirited dimension of our lives.

You will learn that work was not always a "job," but rather a summons to a special destiny. With elegant scholarship, Moore uncovers the sacred roots of work and shows how, in our own age, it remains a direct path to discovering who we truly are. This all-new session explores such areas as the task of finding a true calling; how Victorian artist William Morris defied "burnout," and much more. Thomas Moore On Meaningful Work is a finely crafted and sturdy vessel, offering up wise nourishment for our times.
