The phrase meaningful work has appeared in books and in printed material substantially more. In the past people very much looked to work as a way to be a proactive member of society or to take care of some of their material needs. But starting in the 70s and 80s we saw this shift where people started looking toWork as a form of self-expression rather than asking what they could give to their job.
#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!
