Mankind must really be masochistic.
"The Depth we crave?" Our best work, which we really want to do but can't because we cannot focus our desires on what we want to do? There seems to be some linguistic confusion here. Either we want something or we don't. We might want to want something, but that's a different matter. What the blurb seems to be saying is that we have a first-order desire to want to work, whereas it's really arguing that we should want this, which is an entirely different point. (A lot more preachy, too.) Sigh.

PS. I suspect that this is where the typo came from
