Can there be satisfaction when you spend eight or more hours a day doing something that is nothing more than a means to an end? Yeah I think there's risk on that side of the spectrum as well and we're particularly seeing this right now with younger generations and quiet quitting. So it's sort of the vision in which your work provides meaning but the soccer team that you play with on Saturdays also provides meaning. And so all of that together forms the complete mosaic.
#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!
