Research shows that cultivating hobbies can actually make you more productive at work. People who have hobbies in painting or improv or playing a musical instrument, often because they are exercising other areas of their brain,. They can engage in lateral thinking and creative thinking. That makes them more original, more innovative in whatever field they're in.
#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!
