My main takeaway from the book (though there is plenty of other good advice, too) is that if you want to be something more than a robotic worker doing boring work, you have to connect with people and do more than what's in your job description: be human. His ultimate thesis that art is something that needs to be given freely and without expectation of recompense is something that is probably not an obvious answer to the problem of being unsatisfied with your job.
