For a lot of particularly knowledge-work jobs, there is never a point at which you are done. So how then do you draw that line? Work can be extremely leaky when you're working on the assembly line. Research increasingly shows that employees who are able to cultivate interests and hobbies outside of work tend to be more creative in a work context.
#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!
