The author was contemplating going back to grad school for a journalism degree. His mentor asked him if he could go but couldn't tell anyone that he went, would he still do it? The question cut through the noise of his decision-making process and made an important point about what motivated him. He says we can spend our entire lives chasing carrots without truly feeling full.
#453: Today I chat with Simone Stolzoff, a consultant for organizations ranging from Google to the Surgeon General’s Office, and the author of "The Good Enough Job." He’s a graduate of Stanford and U. Penn.
Simone has spent a lot of time thinking about the role of work in our lives, and he's got some really interesting ideas about how we can see work as just one part of a happy and fulfilling life.
We'll be talking about what happens when work becomes more than just a job, how to challenge the idea that work has to be our calling or our dream, and how to build a more well-rounded life. If you’ve ever “over-identified” with your job, then you’ll find today’s conversation thought-provoking. Enjoy!
