We wrap up our work-life balance series on what we hope will be a positive note: how to find happiness and fulfillment in and outside the office. Much of our identity is tied up in what we do — there’s no escaping it. And work does give us a sense of purpose, but does it make us happy?
This is the fourth in a special four-part series about work-life balance. Details.
This is it! Day four of our weeklong examination of why, in America, it is so difficult to establish and maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s a struggle and one populated by roadblocks erected by tradition, politics, culture and capitalism.
All of us will likely be involved in this struggle for a while so we end our series with a question: Can we find happiness and fulfillment at work – on the job? Can being happy at work counter-balance our imbalanced lives?
We explore that idea and a shocking one belonging to one of our guests who says retirement is a "terrible idea."
