Barry Schwartz: The way we think about work is broken


TED 2014
Barry Schwartz: The way we think about work is broken  (script)

"Why do you drag yourselves out of the bed every morning ?"
"It's my goal. I set a goal that makes me want to jump out off the bed in the morning. Thus, I'm able to do my favorite things."
Summary
The speaker defines that the way we think about work is broken. It is because our current  workplaces create people who are fitted to the demands of that institution. They deprive people of the opportunity to drive the kind of satisfactions from their work that we take for granted.  The backgrounds of this idea are that society needed mass production,  division of labor and people are naturally lazy.  And then, the simple technology is disappearing. However, the ideas are not taken away.  Even if they are bad ideas,  there are people who believe that they are true, they create ways of living and institutions that are consistent with these very false ideas.
However, human nature is a special product in space .  Lucky the human nature is  created more than it is discovered.  So you're able to design your human nature again by designing  the institutions wherein you live and work, if you think that the way you think about work is broken.
