The Futility of Work: Volume I: Motivators

Every creature the world-over works to survive, yet all humans seem to possess a penchant for working that surpasses the needs of survival alone. So, what are we working for? From where do we derive our desire to work? The Futility of Work attempts to tackle the fundamental questions of our desires – and the efforts we are willing to put forth in achieving them. In Volume I: a distinction is made concerning what it means to be human (as opposed to just another animal), work is clearly defined along with its cause, and the universal motivators that inspire all human kind to work are covered.

With the current state of world affairs and recent changes in the meaning of “The American Dream”, it is more important than ever to understand the genuine value of work, the forces that motivate us, and how to apply them for real-world results. A call to quit chasing dreams and start living the life that we have been given, The Futility of Work is one of a kind in its realistic and unabashed viewpoints on all that makes us human – our work.
