Class of 1972

Samuel “Skip” Halpern writes that this summer, he’ll teach a “special studies” course at the Chautauqua Institution based on his book, Wellsprings of Work: Surprising Sources of Meaning and Motivation in Work . The draft course description is: This course explores under-unappreciated sources of meaning in work, amidst the pressures and pitfalls of capitalist society. While acknowledging how work can bring you down, the focus is on psychological and spiritual drivers that lift you up. It applies to all types and stages of careers (early, mid, late, after), and spans philosophy, psychology, law, investing, religion and arts.
