Alain de Botton Work Quotations

Work is a way of bringing order to chaos, and there's a basic satisfaction in seeing that we are able to make something a little more coherent by the end of the day.

We are continuously challenged to discover new works of culture—and, in the process, we don’t allow any one of them to assume a weight in our minds.

A 'good job' can be both practically attractive while still not good enough to devote your entire life to.

There is no such thing as work-life balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life.
