{"product_id":"disciplined-minds-jeff-schmidt-9780742516854","title":"Disciplined Minds: A Critical Look at Salaried Professionals and the Soul-Battering System That Shapes Their Lives","description":"This book details the battle one must fight to be an independent thinker, showing how an honest reassessment of what it means to be a professional in today's corporate society can be remarkably liberating. Poignant examples from the world of work reveal the workplace as a battleground for the very identity of the individual. Schmidt contends that professional work is inherently political-that the unstated duty of professionals is to maintain strict \"ideological discipline.\" Career dissatisfaction evolves as workers lose control over the political component of their creative work. After reading this insightful book, no one who works for a living will ever think the same way about their job. Jeff Schmidt lives in Washington, D.C., where he is an editor for \u003ci\u003ePhysics Today\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeff Schmidt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0742516857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780742516854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Jeff Schmidt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044794364159,"sku":"9780742516854","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2cae2c8-f70c-479a-a392-de048d1b075e.jpg?v=1684974926","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disciplined-minds-jeff-schmidt-9780742516854","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
