The book examines how cultural values become idols that shape our approach to work, whether through traditional, modern, or postmodern lenses. Keller critiques the modern idol of individualism, which turns work into a means of self-realization and salvation, often at the cost of human well-being. 'If you get the story of the world wrong...you will get your life responses wrong, including the way you go about your work,' Keller warns, urging readers to resist the idolization of productivity and success. | Timothy Keller | Every Good Endeavor
