Is work just a job, or a fundamental part of one's identity?

Engaging, Opinionated, Thoughtful
Is work the curse of the working class? Or a human's best opportunity for happiness and meaning? What is work, and what is leisure? Are you what you do? And how does American society differ in its attitude towards work, and holidays, from others? John and Ken discuss these issues and more with Al Gini from Loyola University Chicago, author of "My Job, My Self: Work and the Creation of the Modern Individual." This program was recorded in front of a live audience at Centenary College in Shreveport, LA.
