70% of people are now saying that they are unhappy at work, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A million people a week are quitting a job in the U.S., which is twice as high as it has ever been historically. We are shifting from what I call a means-based economy to a meaning-based economy. Only half of us even have a main job anymore; we have side jobs and hope jobs and ghost jobs. If you go buy into the linear narrative of a career when you go through a change in my life every 2.85 years, there will be a quake.
Today is part two of my interview with Bruce Feiler. Bruce is the author of six consecutive New York Times bestselling books. He's a deep thinker and he's interviewed thousands of people to try to understand what really leads to a higher contribution. His research shows that thinking of work as a single linear career where your job is to go higher and higher is not the way to maximize contribution. By the end of this episode, among other things, you will have what Bruce feels is the single most powerful question he has ever discovered for helping people – to find what their real essential mission and calling in life is.
