Episode notes

Not everyone has the ability to dictate their hours or choose their profession. What we can control, however, are the expectations we place on our jobs. There are three risks to thinking that your job is your sole means of self-actualization and treating work like a religion. By living a work-centric existence, we can neglect other parts of who we are.

Simone Stolzoff challenges the societal obsession with work and its detrimental impact on our well-being. Drawing from his book, 'The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work,' Stolzoff explores how our identities have become entangled with our jobs, resulting in diminished happiness and overall fulfillment. Join the conversation as he uncovers the myths surrounding work and advocates for reframing our perspective to prioritize a balanced and meaningful life beyond the confines of our careers.
