coverCrossing the Unknown Sea : Work As a a Pilgrimage of Identity

I came across this book in the New Books section of my local library and the title intrigued me enough to take it home. I am always
looking for books on work as I write a weekly high-tech careers
column.


Whyte's style can be a bit "grand" at times, one of the hazards
of a poet writing prose, but there are some very important ideas
to be found here. Several times I found myself pausing suddenly
to contemplate a line that effected me deeply.
This book needs to be taken in small doses, allowing time to ruminate and absorb what you have just read.


If you are looking for a book with a unique take on the nature of work in the 21st Century, you would be well-served to pick this one.
