Description
The Mind at Work: Valuing the Intelligence of the American Worker by Mike Rose
This groundbreaking book challenges the long-held notion that people who work with their hands are less intelligent. Through research, interviews and personal history, Rose reveals the intellectual abilities of everyday workers, from waitresses to carpenters, hairdressers and electricians.
With a new preface for its 10th anniversary edition, this book sheds light on the social cost of undervaluing the work that many people do. It is a powerful exploration of the capabilities of ordinary workers and their contributions to society.
