91- Finding an Unhurried, Peaceful Life–free of Burnout, Guest Alan Fadling
Welcome to Soul School – your Hump Day treat. Your midweek boost! (WEDNESDAYS)
Today comes some wisdom I gleaned from Cal Newport.
On FRIDAY come back for a longer conversational guest episode!
I liked Cal’s take on working towards skills that are rare a valuable.
It flies in the face of a refrain we often hear, “Follow your passion!”
In a recent Soul School I told you that the Secret Sauce I kept hearing from the many people I speak with indicated that people followed their curiosity and created something useful often found success and meaningful work. LISTEN HERE. On that journey they were doing the very thing Cal talks about, “becoming so good they couldn’t be ignored.”
Work for creative people, and for all sorts of people, looks different now. Don’t fear the shake up.
Do you hate the question, “What do you do for a living?”. Have you ever asked it of someone and then felt like it was the wrong question to ask as soon as you said it? I have a few suggestions and a really funny story about my own experience too.
In January (2016) I’m talking about the concepts of calling and meaningful work.
For more on how you can join in that worldwide endeavor for yourself, in your own way, visit the #synCREATE page.
