You'Re listening to how to be a better human.
I'm your host, Chris Duffy.
On today's episode, we're going to be focusing on work.
When I think about what it means to be a better human,
a lot of the ideas that come to mind first for me are things that I do in my free time.
It's how I deal with interpersonal relationships,
how I treat my family, my friends, how I treat myself.
But the majority of my waking hours are spent working.
So what can we do to improve our relationships to our jobs?
But it feels like the demands of making money and showing up to work are going to go on and on and on and on forever.
I mean, thats how I feel.
And I have a remarkably easy job.
I dont have to do manual labor.
I am just sitting in a chair right now talking out loud to myself while trying to pretend that Im talking to someone else.
This applies to everyone.
If you're struggling with work life balance, if you are trying to figure out how to find meaning in your work,
or if you're just feeling burned out, this is an episode we put together for you.
We've pulled some clips from some of our favorite past interviews that touch on these topics, and we're going to get to them in just a moment.
But first, I have to do my job.
