Work and money

How money and work truly affect your life – often in ways you don't expect.
This book will be an eye-opener. It combines classical and behavioural economics with psychology to show you why we work, how we think about money – and why we often let ourselves be influenced unconsciously.

You'll get answers to questions you might never have asked, but which affect your daily life: Why should we all get a 'patient information leaflet' with our money? And why does our decision-making often go awry when it comes to finances? What does work actually mean to us today – and could we live without it? How can we value work that isn't visible – like looking after a home? This book isn't just about theory. You'll find clear explanations, real-life examples, specific calculations and experiments that will help you better understand yourself and others. Don't expect another defence of consumerist lifestyles – this is more of a practical guide to help you understand your own relationship with work, money, and what truly motivates you.
