Work Pray Code explores how tech companies are bringing religion into the workplace in ways that are replacing traditional places of worship, blurring the line between work and religion and transforming the very nature of spiritual experience in modern life. Over the past forty years, highly skilled workers have been devoting more time and energy to their jobs than ever before. They are also leaving churches, synagogues, and temples in droves -but they have not abandoned religion. Carolyn Chen spent more than five years in Silicon Valley, conducting a wealth of in-depth interviews and gaining unprecedented access to the best and brightest of the tech world. The result is a penetrating account of how work now satisfies workers' needs for belonging, identity, purpose, and transcendence that religion once met. Chen argues that tech firms are offering spiritual care such as Buddhist-inspired mindfulness practices to make their employees more productive, but that our religious traditions, communities, and public sphere are paying the price. We all want our jobs to be meaningful and fulfilling. Work Pray Code reveals what can happen when work becomes religion, and when the workplace becomes the institution that shapes our souls." -- front flap dust jacket. 650 0 $a Corporate culture $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) 650 0 $a High technology industries $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) $x Employees. 650 0 $a Religion in the workplace $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) 650 0 $a Employees $x Religious life. 650 6 $a Culture d'entreprise $z Santa Clara, ValleÌe de (Santa Clara) $z Santa Clara, ValleÌe de (Santa Clara) 650 6 $a Industries de pointe $z Santa Clara, ValleÌe de (Santa Clara) $z Santa Clara, ValleÌe de (Santa Clara) $x Personnel. 650 6 $a Religion en milieu de travail $z Santa Clara, ValleÌe de (Santa Clara) $z Santa Clara, ValleÌe de (Santa Clara) 650 6 $a Personnel $x Vie religieuse. 650 7 $a Corporate culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00879624 650 7 $a Employees $x Religious life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352955 650 7 $a High technology industries $x Employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00956437 650 7 $a Religion in the workplace. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093894 651 7 $a California $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01316612 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780691220871 941 $a 3 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041953.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214043347.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033907.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E81A56A6F93011ED9B9A064150ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOOInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
