Episode notes

Traditions are the handing down of information, beliefs, customs from one generation to another. These can be both good and bad, and i think we're often unaware of them. The forty hour work week is a great example of a system that is completely uniform for the most part around the world. But in different countries there's very different traditions with how people think about how to get the most out of their time. I'm generalizing but if you go to spain or japan it could help refactor your thinking on all of these ideas.

In this episode, Steph and Cal dive deep into traditions, the societal defaults that shape how we think and act in the world. They start by exploring the origins of the 40-hour work week, modern alternatives, and how we can rethink the idea of retirement. In the second half of the episode, they explore how the ways in which commonly held beliefs about monogamy, love, and marriage may not set people up for the life they want to live. If you're interested in questioning the norms and designing a life that works for you, this episode is worth a listen.
