Disney was great given this much time. He walked away and said, I want to deal with myself. I need to fix me. That's the only way to move forward. The people who are happiest and most successful and find most meaning in work, they don't climb. They do what I call the personal archaeology. And there's only one truth that only you can write your story of success. Only you can figure out what is it. If not, you'll just get another job and two and a half years from now, you'll be back doing it again.
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.
