Introduction to Work: A Deep History with James Suzman
In his book Work: A Deep History, from the Stone Age to the Age of Robots, world-renowned anthropologist James Suzman offers surprising new insights about how much (or how little) our hunter-gatherer ancestors worked. He also explains why modern society is obsessed with working so hard, and points the way toward a better, healthier future of work.
In James’s 50-minute master class, you will discover:
How hunter-gatherer societies survived and thrived by working just 15 hours per week
What economists often get wrong about human nature
How the advent of farming warped our work habits for centuries to come
Why our careers have become so central to our identities
How our laserlike focus on productivity and growth is endangering society at large.
