Satisfaction with our work is a very big determinate of how satisfied we feel with our life over all, because we spend so much time on it or at it. More often than not, our work dictates our schedules and sometimes leaves us without time for fun, for family, for volunteering or for just looking up the clouds. If we want to embody the idea that we're really born to live, we need toa these strategies to push back on all the social pressure and time pressure that causes us to prioritize work overliving.
Listener Niki Walker has a question... in our busy, career-driven, money-oriented live, are we forgetting to make time for more important things?
In our first episode fielding questions from fans of The Happiness Lab, Dr Laurie Santos looks at the world of work and how we can prioritize purpose, fun and human interaction to make our daily lives better.
Laurie is joined by Professor Cassie Holmes (author of "Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time and Focus on What Matters Most).
