Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work And the Shaping of Identity - Tapa dura

We spend most of our time in the workplace, but work needs to be much more than a means to make money. What we seek is meaningful work and a sense of fulfilment. David Whyte, who has become a popular speaker on creativity and work, shows us how to find that fulfilment. Work is a powerful force in the shaping of our identity. If we do our work unthinkingly, it can damage our souls. CROSSING THE UNKNOWN SEA is a unique blend of poetry, gifted story-telling, and personal experience, beautifully written in lyrically inspired and powerful prose.

David Whyte was born and grew up in Yorkshire. He is first and foremost a poet but also a consultant to many of the world's leading corporations. As well as 4 volumes of poetry he is the author of THE HEART AROUSED: Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul at Work.
