For most people the word work is synonymous with jobs, labor and occupations. The things we do to pay the rent. The mundane routine can often overshadow the nuances of the work that we do.
In this talk at RMIT in Melbourne, philosopher Alain de Botton reminds us of the importance of appreciating the details of work and workplaces. In this way we can have a greater understanding of the impact our daily tasks have on culture and society, or perhaps decide that it's time for a new career.

I would also recommend Seth Godin's book "Linchpin", and "48 Days to the Work You Love" by Dan Miller, for anyone looking for meaningful work in this economy.
