If you ask people why they work, most will say for money. What we do for money seems like the essential but dull part of our lives – in tired phrases such as "work–life balance", work is set against life, as if it were life's opposite – but it's also where we make friends, exert power, pass the time, fall in love, give back, puff ourselves up, get bored, play, backstab, bully and resist. And as the days slide by, it changes us almost unobserved. The average full-time worker in the UK works 39.2 hours a week and earns £27,200 a year according to official statistics, but these numbers, like the rise and fall of GDP, don't get at what work feels like.
