Most humans spend most of their life mostly working.  One researcher found that over the course of a life a person will spend 90,000 hours at their job, and that doesn’t include all of the other responsibilities we have that don’t count as our job: parenting, neighboring, mowing the lawn, fixing the dishwasher, feeding the dog, having a hobby.

We all have work to do: a set of responsibilities that are ours, everyday, lying on our shoulders.  But what does work mean? And why is it so central to who we are and loom so large on our horizons?  And how do we value it well?  And does it matter ultimately in the final sweep of all things.
