The empty raincoat : making sense of the future

See all formats and editions

In this extraordinary, life-affirming book, Charles Handy reaches for a philosophy beyond the impersonal mechanics of business organizations, and beyond material choices.

He presents a powerful alternative vision, where life and work are regrounded in a natural sense of continuity, connection and purposeful direction. 'The empty raincoat is to me, the symbol of our most pressing paradox.

If economic progress means that we become anonymous cogs in some great machine, then progress is an empty promise.

The challenge must be to show how paradox can be managed.' - from "The Empty Raincoat".
