Episode notes

I think the foundation for the book was the fact that I had a cross-cultural upbringing. There are lots of cultures that are even more extreme than the United States. We need both the policy in place to allow workers to be able to do things that live and work, but we also need the cultural will to do so. No amount of policy in the world can cure workaholism.

Simone Stolzoff challenges the societal obsession with work and its detrimental impact on our well-being. Drawing from his book, 'The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work,' Stolzoff explores how our identities have become entangled with our jobs, resulting in diminished happiness and overall fulfillment. Join the conversation as he uncovers the myths surrounding work and advocates for reframing our perspective to prioritize a balanced and meaningful life beyond the confines of our careers.
