A Life at Work

In his discussion of work satisfaction, Moore relies on the metaphor of an alchemist mixing the proper ingredients to achieve gold. He looks at work broadly, not only as a job needed to earn a living. Choices of work reflect our relationship with ourselves and all aspects of life. If work is not satisfying, he says, look behind the dissatisfaction to the lessons to be learned--or be doomed to a pattern of more of the same. Lloyd James is a serious and objective narrator who puts the material center stage. He doesn't try to persuade or advocate. He lays out the text in a manner that is as straightforward and no-nonsense as its message. J.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
