review 1: I don't want to join the rat race.Not be enslaved by machines, bureaucracies, boredom, ugliness.I dont want to be a moron, robert, commuter. I don't want to become a fragment of a person. I want to do my own thing.I want to live relatively simplyI want to deal with people, not masks. People matter. Nature matters. Beauty matters. Wholeness matters. I want to be able to care.
review 2: I really liked this book and I definitely recommend. It's roughly 200 pages and he's quoting Rousseau--what have you got to lose?The author has got a little bit of everything in here: exercises, a few people's own experiences as examples with philosophy, history and personal experience mixed in. I think he makes a good point about acting first and reflecting later in trying to fi... morend meaningful work and the three ways to do it: radical sabbaticals, branching projects and conversational research. These are practical enough steps. I guess he's Australian or something? In the U.S. we would call the "branching projects" volunteering and "conversational research" networking (more or less). Using the different terminology was good though, because it forced me to think about these activities in a different way. If you're into the meaningful life/self-help genre this book is a must, along with Alain de Botton's TED talk and Po Bronson's _What Should I Do With My Life?_, which the author also recommends in his homework section. less
