The Reinvention of Work - A New Vision of Livelihood for Our Time (Hardcover)

How many people can really say that their work is in balance with their personal life, that their values and desires are reflected in their daily vocation, that their personal life and professional life are integrated, or that they find satisfaction, not a crushing defeat of the spirit, in their workday existence? According to most polls and reports, very few people do. Now, author and radical priest Matthew Fox shares his thoughts on one of the focal points of people's lives - work. He urges people to overcome their feelings of isolation, insecurity and alienation in their work lives and to embrace a vision of the world where the self is not sacrificed for a job, but is sanctified by "authentic soul work". He envisions a world where intellect, heart and health come together in a harmony of essential life experiences that celebrates the whole person. Matthew Fox is the author of "The Coming of the Cosmic Christ", "Creation Spirituality" and "Sheer Joy".
