Taylor System and Physiology of Professional Work by Jm Lahy
Man differs from the other living beings, and from that automatic being which we call a machine, by the almost unpossessed variety of his mental contents and movements, and by the relations which he establishes between his thoughts and actions, in order to perfect the latter more and more. As soon as man is at work, he limits his mental contents and motives to the necessities of his professional activity; his field of consciousness narrows. The modern tendency to limit human activity leads to both a loss and a profit. If, on the one hand, the processing of the raw materials takes place under more favourable conditions of velocity and quantity, and the worker attains to perfection the motion corresponding to the idea, on the other hand, the excess of restriction of capacity reduces the individual. Consequently, it is necessary to find out the balance between an excessively far-reaching automation of man, which accompanies modern work, and a fragmentation of thoughts resulting from the absence of any compulsion. The law of increased performance runs counter to the normal psychological and physiological development of man to the extent that it exceeds the optimal duration. The more he is forced into a varied activity, the more he enjoys a free initiative elsewhere in order to rediscover the variety of spiritual contents, and, through their intricate play, to perform varied and useful actions. Every time it was necessary to organize the work on new grounds, the innovators had to improve the work on new grounds.| ISBN 13 | 9783642984587 |

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math โ Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
