Getting Work Right
by Michale J. Naughton
Foreword by Cardinal Peter K.A. Turkson
If we don't get Sunday right, we won't get Monday-or any day of the workweek-right.
The divided life is a temptation so built into our society, we may not even recognize it. Yet most of us fall prey to it. We either undervalue work, resenting it as simply a job, or we overvalue it as an identity-defining career.
Michael Naughton, drawing on his background in both business and theology, proposes that the key to finding balance is another important human activity: leisure.
In light of leisure-not mere amusement, but time for family, silence, prayer, and above all, worship-work becomes a space where men and women can find deep fulfilment. Naughton provides real-world examples of how businesses can promote authentic human flourishment and innovation through practices and policies that support leisure.
In Getting Work Right, Michael Naughton will change how you work-and rest.
