A philosopher/mechanic's wise (and sometimes funny) look at the challenges and pleasures of working with one's hands

Called "the sleeper hit of the publishing season" (The Boston Globe), Shop Class as Soulcraft became an instant bestseller, attracting readers with its radical (and timely) reappraisal of the merits of skilled manual labor. On both economic and psychological grounds, author Matthew B. Crawford questions the educational imperative of turning everyone into a "knowledge worker," based on a misguided separation of thinking from doing. Using his own experience as an electrician and mechanic, Crawford presents a wonderfully articulated call for self-reliance and a moving reflection on how we can live concretely in an ever more abstract world.

Very Handy for Writing and EDC!
It does exactly what I need it to! It fits well on my A5 notebook and has just enough room in the pouch for a small knife, a lighter, a small flashlight, and some pens! It's a perfect edc carry for anyone who likes to have a small notebook on hand! Also the quality is really amazing and I have no doubts that this handy little pouch will last a long time.

Moderately Effective, Not Worth The Price
Doesn't hold much. The hand strap on the back as it's impossible to get it to a point where it may be tight around a large, adult hand. Unsure how well the elastic loops will safely retain pens over time.
