description: In this striking sequel to his best-selling book The Age of Unreason, Charles Handy shows how the changes he predicted are upon us. New developments in technology, radical changes in the global economy, and the relentless pursuit of productivity have altered forever our organizations, our careers, and our lifestyles. These changes are inevitable and irreversible, and they bring a host of new problems and paradoxes. This book identifies the unintended consequences of change and provides a set of guiding principles to cope with the paradoxes of modern life, leading to a more balanced existence for individuals, greater rewards for organizations, and a more just society for all. "A joy to read."--Business Week "If you are part of, think about, care about, or are in any way influenced by the world of work, this powerful book is for you."--Sir Graham Day, Financial Times "Graceful and challenging."--Kirkus Reviews
