I think it's natural to want to find purpose/meaning in your life and I think increasingly more people are obsessed with it today because we have more and more meaningless jobs. I mean, being a shoe repairer in your smallish community where you knew 80% of people brought so much more meaning to you than some corporate CSR director or whatever else. It's not about having an out-of-this-world career or enviable title, it's about *what* gives us meaning.
By the way, congrats on your new podcast! Will take a look.
Very true, Monica! I think it’s absolutely possible to have a meaningful job without letting it become the sole focus of our lives. I’m really aiming for a more balanced perspective these days, and I completely agree with what you’ve said. By the way, I recently picked up the book Bullshit Jobs and plan on reading it soon—have you heard of it?

I think I've heard of the name, but haven't read it. It does sound very timely and relevant, though... :/
Well, you know me 🤣 always late with my replies!
Anyway, I’ll read the book and report back soon. Wishing you a wonderful day 🫶🏼
