Discover a transformative examination of societal values in 'Head, Hand, Heart' by David Goodhart. This insightful book delves into the overlooked significance of various human aptitudes—cognitive, manual, and emotional—and highlights our growing political alienation, particularly post-pandemic. The COVID-19 crisis revealed the essential roles of care workers, delivery drivers, and cleaners, roles often regarded as menial despite their importance to our well-being.
Goodhart discusses how society has increasingly prioritized cognitive skills over manual and emotional abilities. With 40% of jobs now demanding graduate status, the value of practical skills and emotional intelligence has diminished, contributing to widespread discontent. This compelling narrative urges us to rethink the purpose of skilled work and advocate for a balanced acknowledgment of all aptitudes. Learn how to celebrate and respect the contributions of every worker in shaping a more equitable society.
This spirited investigation is not just a call to action but a guide to understanding the dynamics that influence our world today. Let's recognize and uplift the diverse talents that fuel our communities.

Description:
A profound investigation into the deeper reason for our political alienation
The coronavirus pandemic taught us something we ought already to have known- that care workers, supermarket shelf-stackers, delivery drivers and cleaners are doing essential work that keeps us all alive, fed and cared for. Until recently much of this work was regarded as menial by the the same society that now lauds them as 'key workers'. Why are they so undervalued?
In this timely and original analysis, David Goodhart divides human aptitudes into three- Head (cognitive), Hand (manual and craft) and Heart (caring, emotional). It's common sense that a good society needs to recognise the value of all three, but in recent decades they have got badly out of kilter. Cognitive ability has become the gold standard of human esteem. The cognitive class now shapes society largely in its own interests, by prioritizing the knowledge economy, ever-expanding higher education and shaping the very idea of a successful life. To put it bluntly- smart people have become too powerful.
Head, Hand, Heart tells the story of the cognitive takeover that has gathered pace over the past forty years. As recently as the 1970s most people left school without qualifications, but now 40 per cent of all jobs are graduate-only. A good society must re-imagine the meaning of skilled work, so that people who work with their hands and hearts are valued alongside workers who manipulate data. Our societies need to spread status more widely, and provide meaning and value for people who cannot, or do not want to, achieve in the classroom and the professions. This is the sto

Very good for aggressive chewers
Color: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow
Finally found ball that my aggressive chewer doesn't destroy. Has loud squeaker however he broke after 4 days. Probably better, noise gone. Very sturdy and he loves. Also big so doesn't roll under furniture.

Durable
Color: Purple
I bought this for my 80lb 1yr American Bully male,who has made it his mission to test all the toys his dad and I have bought. Now I have 3 other American Bullies, siblings 3yr old 2 females/1male, who did the same at that age and I mastered toy shopping or so I thought. Lol. My new pup loves balls and this is the only one he firstly can't fit completely in his mouth and can't tear it apart. He has tired!

My Dogs Loved Them!
Color: Purple
My dogs loved these for playing fetch. They seem heavier duty than previous ones I have had. Beware of the incoming constant squeak sounds if your pup gets really into chewing it.

Shockingly, good ball!
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
I have a Doberman. She is a ball and toy destroyer. She is the most obsessive retriever I’ve ever had. Her retrieving urge, and indefatigability, puts my golden retriever to shame. Because of this, we throw the ball all the time. She is primarily an indoor dog and we have to exhaust her energy and so throwing the ball is how this is done. I got these balls in an effort to try to find something that would last longer than a few days. I have now had these 2 balls for six weeks. They are both still alive! It literally blows my mind. When I bought them, we took bets on how long they would last. I gave it a week. I lost my bet. I got the extra large size. It’s perfect for the giant jaw span of a full grown Doberman. It squeaks, which is irritating to us, but what she loves. She can lay there and chew on it and still not destroy it. They’re very heavy ball and bounce, so you have to be careful throwing it in the house cause you could hurt breakables. Whoever said that these feel like they came from the dollar tree must have been talking about something else. They are thick and sturdy balls.
UPDATE: it has now been THREE MONTHS and our Doberman STILL has not destroyed these 2 balls. We play with them many times each day. WORTH EVERY PENNY
ADDITIONAL UPDATE: it’s now been nine months. Took this photo this morning. We still have the balls and have since ordered two more. She chews on it multiple times every day. There’s a little hole in it now and it doesn’t squeak anymore but it’s 98% intact and still essentially indestructible. These balls are worth gold.

The dog loves 'em
Color: Blue
The dog loves the balls, and they're the right size for my German Shepherd.
Lost a couple of starts because they're not very durable, the "teeth" are easily broken off, so I am frequently finding "lost teeth" across the house; the squeakers also cannot hold up to my dog's aggressive chewing.
I would still buy them again, as like I said, my dog love 'em!
