Fabbers - automated all-in-one devices - could produce goods autonomously. Bergmann considers 'Smart Consumption' that people should contemplate and decide what they really need. According to Bergmann, many products and things are irrelevant, since they consume more time when using them than they save. One example could be the garlic press: very often the time cleaning the device consumes more time than the 'time saved' by using the press compared to manual pressing/cutting. By self-supply and smart consumption, people can maintain a good standard of living even though only one-third of the entire capacity is used for wage labor. Work that you really, really want This is the most important component of New Work. The idea is: work as such is endless and it is a lot more than what is and can be provided by the wage labor system. According to Bergmann, every human being can find work that is aligned with the own values, desires, dreams, hope, and skills. Since Bergmann denies a revolutionary process to overcome the wage labor system, change can only happen slowly and this change can only be achieved through people that closely analyze their real, real desires and pursue those desires. By doing so, they become more and more independent from the wage labor system. In so-called 'centers for new work' the idea is that people collaborate and with the support of mentors, they try to identify what kind of work they really, really want to do. This process is of course complex, demanding and time-consuming. Bergmann uses the term 'Selbstunkenntnis'. By the process of trying to identify what a person really, really wants to do, a general movement could begin that changes one's life so that people feel 'more alive'. Pushing the concept further The psychologist Markus Väth developed Bergmann's theory further: based on Bergmann's paper 'New Work, New Culture', Väth illustrates four pillars on which a successful implementation of New Work could be based: a conscious way of life ("Life Blending") in combination with a re-evaluation of the importance of work for one's life a systematic model of competencies that are relevant to work in a highly complex, dynamic world a change model for organizations that enable a paradigm shift in culture and organizations an intensive debate about the role of work in society and a corresponding mandate from the political world ("New Work Deal") Books On Being Free.
