Episode notes

Workers are measured by productivity, companies by growth, and countries by GDP
GDP may not necessarily measure people's satisfaction in a country
Success is commonly associated with making a lot of money rather than happiness or health
GDP is just one lens to measure the health of a country or a person
Relying solely on income or productivity as a measure of self-worth can be risky
Focusing only on professional accomplishments can lead to feelings of inadequacy or loss of identity

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.
