For centuries, civilizations, philosophers, and faith traditions have wrestled with this question—yet in modern life, work is too often dismissed as a burden or a necessary evil. This book argues otherwise. Through history, religion, and philosophy, it reveals how work has defined humanity, shaped empires, and provided the very structure of life. From the Benedictines’ creed “work is worship”: effort is not punishment, but purpose. Reflections on modern attitudes toward labor, the book makes a compelling case for rediscovering the dignity of toil.
