About the book >.>.> Joanne Ciulla invites us to explore the his- torical and cultural presuppositions about employment. She says that the greatest challenge today is not work but how to make our lives work. She traces work from “curse to calling-and beyond” by drawing on history mythology (ancient and contemporary) pop culture management theory and practical expe- rience. What is the relationship between work and hope? Why do so many of us seem to be letting work take over our lives and trying to live in whatever time is left over? Why are the two common expressions “Get a job!” and “Get a life!” so necessary-and so antithetical? Why is there so much downsizing at a time of unequaled pros- perity? What happened to the old unwritten assumptions about two-way loyalty between employers and employees? (SP)
