Product Description

We will not survive unless we adapt to the way the world is changing. The Age of Unreason is an inspiring vision of an era of new discoveries, new enlightenment and new freedoms. It helps us to understand what Tom Peters, the American business guru, has called the new 'upside down' competitive realities in the world of work and of leisure.

4.0 out of 5 stars A far-sighted book about the work ethic of the future, 5 Nov 1999
By 
This review is from: The Age of Unreason: New Thinking For A New World (Paperback)
I found this amazingly farsighted, it would be of great interest to anybody involved in how work is evolving and the futures of individuals and their place in the work market. It gives plenty of food for thought on how not just employees but employers should view the work market in the years to come. Would be of interest to anybody involved in education, careers guidance, personnel and management, especially management!

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling book about the future of work and organisations, 2 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Age of Unreason: New Thinking For A New World (Paperback)
A book that is probably chronically under-read because it is categorised as a management book. It writes compellingly about the nature of work, the nature of the individual, and the nature of organisations to come. The main premise of it is that change is a constant, evolutionary process, and the individual and the organisation must be open to this, in order to not be left behind. Several theories such as The Inverted Doughnut and the Personal Re-framing are introduced to illustrate Charles Handy's theory, and are very accessible. My first 'management' book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great inspiration for the self-employed, 30 Dec 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Age of Unreason (Paperback)
When considering the jump to independent consulting, this book inspired me to leave the comfort (and confinement) of corporate life. Handy makes it clear how the business and social trends of today are affecting each of us personally and professionally. Anytime someone asks me for career advice, I recommend this book!
