In 'Work: What it does for us, what we do for it', Frances Macnab explores the role paid and unpaid work plays in our lives and offers strategies for the development of healthy attitudes to work. He argues that work, defined in the broadest sense, can be a transformative experience, and that we can be taught essential skills to survive and respond to work and vitality. The task facing all of us is to make sense of the role we want work to play in the context of our own lives.
