117. Should You Expect Fulfillment from Your Career?

The OptimalWork Podcast

#117: What is the appropriate attitude toward your career? At one extreme, some treat it as merely a way of getting a paycheck. At the other, some place all hopes for fulfillment in life in their career. In this episode, we discuss how to approach your career in a way that brings out the best in you, but doesn’t make an idol of success. We want to give credit to Terry Trespicio, whose excellent Ted Talk "Stop searching for your passion" was the source of a number of ideas discussed in this episode.
