  • Summary

  • Exchanging ideas too early and too often hinders innovation, but promoting absurdity in the workplace can lead to new and creative solutions. The workplace shouldn’t simply be a task-focused environment, but a place to nurture our human traits, like our capacity for absurdity.

    Agustin Chevez is a workplace architect and researcher who focuses on studying work and the environments that support it. His book, The Pilgrim's Guide to the Workplace, **explores the idea of creating diversity of ideas through isolation and the importance of nurturing human traits in the workplace. He believes that workplaces should promote absurdity, embrace boredom, and encourage the exploration of ideas. Agustin's work challenges traditional notions of work and aims to create environments that foster innovation and creativity.
