By: Alain De Botton | Series: Vintage InternationalWe spend most of our waking lives at work—in occupations most often chosen by our inexperienced younger selves. And yet we rarely ask ourselves how we got there or what our jobs mean to us.
The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work is an exploration of the joys and perils of the modern workplace, beautifully exploring what other people wake up to do each day—and night—to make our frenzied world function. With a philosophical eye and his signature combination of wit and wisdom, Alain de Botton leads us on a journey around an eclectic range of occupations, from rocket scientist to biscuit manufacturer, from accountant to artist—in search of what makes jobs either soul-destroying or fulfilling.

Nice, but a bear to install
Color: Black, Size: 3Tier48in
Quality product that looks good on our shiplap wall of the wet bar space. The install was a real trip and extremely difficult. You definitely need 2 or more people to install as the direction tell you to put the entire item together, then hang on the wall. This makes it impossible to do yourself.

Exactly what I was looking for
Color: Brown, Size: 3Tier48in, Color: Brown, Size: 3Tier48in
Very sturdy shelves and super easy to put together. I would put the shelves together starting with the bottoms then after it’s put together tighten everything up also starting from the bottom.

Great buy
Great shelf base! The price is great and it does the job. I just got the actual shelves from Lowe’s and they work great. I used for my teen son’s room and he loves them!
