“I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there all the time.”

Shop Class As Soulcraft

Matthew Crawford was on what most people would think was the “right track.” Then he left his job as executive director at a think tank in Washington to open a motorcycle repair shop. In his new book, Shop Class as Soulcraft, he makes the case that our society has placed too great a value on white-collar work and not enough value on the trades.Crawford tells host Guy Raz that the mechanical arts have a special significance for our time because they cultivate the less glamorous virtue of attentiveness.
