Matthew Hamilton

Matthew Hamilton, an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Singapore Management University, dives deep into the concept of workism, which places work at the heart of personal identity. He challenges the negative perceptions of workism, arguing it can enrich life rather than create imbalance. The conversation explores the value of boredom in sparking creativity, the impact of work on our identities, and the troubling trend of 'workification' in leisure and personal relationships. Hamilton advocates for a balanced approach to meaningful work.
