The Forgotten Wisdom of Working with Your Hands
In a world where we're increasingly disconnected from physical reality, Matthew Crawford's exploration of manual work arrives like a revelation. We've been sold a false narrative-that success means escaping physical labor for the pristine world of ideas. But what if this narrative has robbed us of something essential? When shop class disappeared from schools in the 1990s, we lost more than just vocational training. We lost a fundamental way of engaging with reality. Today's students can answer standardized tests but often can't fix a leaky faucet or change a tire. Our possessions have become mysterious black boxes-cars with engines hidden beneath secondary hoods, appliances requiring specialized tools to open, devices designed to be replaced rather than repaired. This transformation has profound consequences for how we understand ourselves and our capabilities. When we can no longer comprehend how our everyday objects function, we surrender a form of agency and independence that was once commonplace. Meanwhile, skilled trades face critical worker shortages while some college graduates return to technical schools seeking marketable skills their university education never provided.
