About The Sunday Letters Journal
I write about life & work, society & culture, and the human condition. I pursue answers to the question of how we may work free from the burden of hierarchical and financial constraints and command our own work. Not many of us work free. Even those of us who are self-employed often find ourselves bound to one or another animate or inanimate master. We are, in that sense, enslaved by our own capitalist systems – a merry-go-round from which we cannot escape.
Not only does the assault of the modern workplace impact our personal freedom, but it is also an assault on the planet. The insatiable pursuit of growth and profit by the few and the promise of the fulfilment of our every desire bleeds the land of all it has to offer. Not all of us experience the profit that accrues from this exploitation of people and the land; in fact, about 90% of the profit goes to only a few per cent of people. The gap between rich and poor is ever-widening, and the planet is under increasing levels of stress. We know this very well, yet still, we feed the machine of industry with our time, attention, and meagre earnings.
So I’m looking for a better way. A better way to live both in and out of that thing we call work, and perhaps in the process, find the fulfilment and happiness we’re looking for and live in harmony with the planet rather than be its adversary.
The Paradox of Work Project
I'm deeply curious about how human beings relate to daily work. It was the topic of a recent psychological research project I conducted that produced more questions than it answered. As such, I'd like to know more about what you do for a living and how it makes you feel. Can you take 2 minutes to tell me? Your answers will help direct the content I create. Go to the Discussion Forums and tell me how you feel about work.

Most of what I write is free to read. It's always been that way and will likely continue. But I also publish material that's reserved for those who support my work. Support Sunday Letters and independent writing by becoming a paying subscriber.
