Description
Dreamwork: Why All Work Is Imaginary Steven Connor's thought-provoking exploration of our relationship with work challenges conventional wisdom. At its core, Dreamwork argues that the idea of work is deeply tied to our identity as humans, yet we often struggle to acknowledge this. The author contends that all work involves a degree of imagination, and that this imaginative aspect is essential to what we mean by working. Connor delves into various aspects of work, including the nature of hard work, the importance of workplaces, and the meanings of leisure activities such as hobbies and holidays. By examining these topics, Dreamwork sheds light on the complex mythos surrounding work and its role in our lives. This book offers a fresh perspective on the concept of work, inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of this fundamental aspect of human experience.
