      How to Tell When You're Tired
    • Für die meisten Menschen ist Arbeit etwas, das man möglichst vermeidet. Wir gehen der Arbeit nicht nur aus dem Weg, sondern sorgen, sofern wir genügend Macht oder Geld besitzen, dafür, daß jemand anderer sie für uns tut. Was heißt es, wenn man sein ganzes Leben lang schwere körperliche Arbeit verrichtet? Reg Theriault weiß darüber aus eigener Erfahrung zu berichten – eloquent und unterhaltsam.
