Review of 'Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
The philosophy is needlessly opaque and the author does not always hold himself to the discipline he credits manual labor and the trades for instilling in us. But the ideas of how we value working with our heads over working with our minds are brilliant, pointed and important. I wanted to learn plumbing after reading this. Like, immediately.
