Hello and welcome. I'm Larry Maguire, work psychologist, writer and lecturer in psychology. Sunday Letters is my readers' newsletter that focuses on life and work in the technological capitalist system. I write on a broad range of topics, including well-being, freedom at work, technology, society and culture, and the nature of the human condition.
How can we find meaning, purpose and happiness in a culture and an economy that seems so detrimental to our well-being? This is a conversation with myself, and you're welcome along for the ride.

How Do You Feel About Daily Work?
This is a topic in which I am deeply interested. My research suggests that many adults are at odds with their work. Work seems transactional and soulless, a means towards an ultimate end. Yet, others are fully engaged with daily work. How does daily work make you feel? Can you take 2 minutes to tell me? Your responses help shape the content here on the site.
