In this eye-opening conversation, we sit down with Simone Stolzoff, author of The Good Enough Job, to explore why modern work culture traps so many of us in cycles of burnout, identity crises, and unrealistic ambition. Drawing on research and personal experience, Simone challenges the “dream job” myth and offers a liberating framework: redefine success on your terms. We explore the dangers of workism, the importance of building an identity outside of your career, and the power of setting clear boundaries. For high-achievers who feel stuck on the hedonic treadmill, this episode offers a roadmap to a more balanced, meaningful life — without abandoning your ambition. [00:00:00] Introduction [00:02:26] The real meaning of a “good enough job” — and why it's not about slacking off [00:08:16] The rise of workism: why your job became your identity [00:13:33] The difference between boundaries and guardrails — and why we need both [00:21:14] The myth of the dream job (and why passion usually follows skill, not the other way around) [00:27:41] How to rebuild an identity outside of work and escape workaholism [00:39:28] The surprising reason people at both ends of the ambition spectrum struggle [00:50:00] Why defining your “enough” number is the antidote to endless striving [00:56:08] Simone's personal lesson: why time autonomy is his ultimate luxury Episode Takeaways: Your job should support your life, not become your life. Stop chasing perfection — a “good enough” job can free you to thrive in other areas that matter. Identity is like an investment portfolio: diversify it beyond just work. Intrinsic motivation (mastery, purpose, autonomy) beats external markers of success. Define your personal “enough” — financially, emotionally, and professionally — or risk falling into the endless “more” trap. Play, beginner's mindset, and non-work communities are secret weapons for resilience. Tired of awkward handshakes and collecting business cards without building real connections?

Megan Soun & Helen Garcia discuss the show 'Severance' and its relevance to mental health and work-life balance. She shares her personal journey with perfectionism and the impact of defining oneself by their job. Links Mentioned in Episode - Episode #36: Megan on Perfectionism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLY-NVsf75I&ab_channel=YellowChairCollective Episode #44: Megan on Body Image: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLY-NVsf75I&ab_channel=YellowChairCollective "Good Enough Job" Book - https://www.amazon.com/Good-Enough-Job-Reclaiming-Life/dp/059353896X Takeaways The show 'Severance' provides an insightful commentary on work-life balance and the impact of work on mental health. Defining oneself by their job can lead to feelings of burnout, anxiety, and depression, highlighting the importance of a holistic view of self-worth. Healthy relationships can serve as a mirror for self-discovery and contribute to a more balanced perspective on personal identity and worth. The cultural emphasis on work and achievement influences individual perceptions of self-worth and the integration of work and personal life. Transitioning between work and personal life requires intentional practices and markers to create a healthy balance and separation. Diversifying one's identity and finding fulfillment outside of work is crucial for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Over-identifying with work can lead to a narrow sense of self and a skewed perception of personal worth. Skepticism of work as a new religion and the influence of community can shape one's perception of work and its role in life. Self-exploration and self-awareness are essential for understanding the impact of work on personal well-being and identity. Reflecting on self-worth and recognizing the goodness of oneself and others is a key aspect of personal growth and fulfillment.

As relationship expert Ester Perel says, “Too many people bring the best of themselves to work, and bring the leftovers home.” This is one of several notions that sparked today's guest, Simone Stolzoff, to reconsider his relationship to work. We're talking about his unique approach to researching his new book, The Good Enough Job, interviewing over 100 primarily white-collar workers, but only featuring nine stories in depth. His goal is that you'll treat this book—and our conversations—less like a textbook and more like a mirror. “I hope [it] prompts you, as writing it did for me, to examine your own relationship to your job.” More About Simone: Simone Stolzoff is an independent journalist and consultant from San Francisco. A former design lead at the global innovation firm IDEO, he regularly works with leaders—from the Surgeon General of the United States to the Chief Talent Officer at Google—on how to make the workplace more human-centered. His feature writing on the intersection of labor and Silicon Valley has appeared in The Atlantic, WIRED, The San Francisco Chronicle, and numerous other publications. Today we're talking about his new book, The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work.

His work has been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and many other publications. He's the author of The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work. This conversation is, in my opinion, among the most important in the history of the show. It's not particularly dramatic, but it's hard for me to overstate the importance of the ideas and practical applications we discussed around life design, work, the relationship between to work and identity, and why carefully curating these things instead of letting them happen is an absolute must if you want to create more meaning and satisfaction at the intersection of your work and life. We covered a wide range of things including the Western tendency toward work as a status symbol, how to make a career pivot, questions to consider when reflecting on the context of your career in your life, how to recover from an achievement hangover, the joys and perils of being self-employed, and much more.

In this second episode where I discuss work and our relationship to it, I recap Simone Stolzoff's book The Good Enough Job and how fear has fueled my desire to work hard all the time.  I also discuss how addicted behaviors are picked up by Adult Children of Alcoholics (you may not drink, but throw your time/energy in work, etc.).  I share my personal work history and talk about losing my job at the beginning of the pandemic. How did I feel not having a job? How did that stir up my fears of not having enough money to survive (even if that wasn't true)? What is the healthy balance between work and rest? Having a balanced approach to life (the juste milieu - middle path) is best.  Who are you without work?

In today's podcast, we talk to Dr. Jeff Cornwall, co-founder and CEO of Entrepreneurial Mind, LLC, and Professor Emeritus of Entrepreneurship at Belmont University, where he founded its entrepreneurship program in 2003. Shortly after retiring, Jeff was diagnosed with cancer last year, which changed his outlook on life. “I wasn't sure I was going to retire, but between COVID and Generation Z, I decided it was time to retire from my professorship, and I planned to be pretty active. The university hired me back to do a half-time consulting job on a new curriculum program. And I'm working on a new book and was working pretty much full-time once I retired,” he says. “Then I came down with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which fortunately they caught early enough. But I guess that was the wake-up call. It was time to adjust my priorities a little bit.” The main topics of today's episode will be what's working—and not working—in entrepreneurship education today. We will also talk about the state of mentorship for entrepreneurs, where the holes are, and Jeff's advice to aspiring entrepreneurs (hint: you don't know everything).

Today on The Sunday Story, author Simone Stolzoff discusses his book The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work, about our complicated relationship with work. Stolzoff explains how as jobs have changed over generations, so has the meaning we derive from working. Stolzoff shares his findings on our modern relationship with work and ways we can find more balance in our lives.

American culture has made finding a dream job one of life's ultimate goals. Personal identity and professional roles have merged into one, and this entanglement can cost us our happiness, well-being, and ultimately true career success. Why has work taken such an all-encompassing role in American lives, and why is it such a challenge for us to detach from it? Simone Stolzoff is on a mission to reclaim our lives from a work-obsessed world. As a former journalist and the author of The Good Enough Job, Simone has interviewed Michelin star chefs, Wall Street bankers, overwhelmed teachers, and other workers across the American economy to expose what we lose when we expect work to be more than a job. In this episode, Dart and Simone discuss:- Challenging myths around work and identity- How work-first culture has betrayed many employees- The transactional relationship between employers and employees- Designing a sustainably productive culture at work- Why companies should encourage employees to diversify their identities - The connection between survival, employment, and government assistance in the U.S.- And other topics…Simone Stolzoff is a designer, workplace expert and consultant, and author of The Good Enough Job. His consulting clients include Google, Meta, Microsoft, IDEO, Guild, and the State of California. As a former journalist and design lead at the global innovation firm, IDEO, his work has been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and many other publications. Simone received his bachelor's degree in creative writing from The University of Pennsylvania and his master's degree in journalism and multimedia storytelling from Stanford University.Resources mentioned:The Good Enough Job, by Simone Stolzoff: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Enough-Job-Reclaiming-Life/dp/059353896X Human Capital, by Thomas Davenport: https://www.amazon.com/Human-Capital-P-Davenport/dp/0470436816 Connect with Simone:www.thegoodenoughjob.com

Simone challenges this path and presents his ideas on being fulfilled by work while also investing in things outside of a career path.   WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… Simone predicts that in the age of AI, maintaining “self-complexity” will become crucially important. The hobbies, activities, and socialization we engage in outside of work will not only benefit us personally but also bring an irreplaceable human element to the workplace.    Running Time: 29:35   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani on Social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Simone Online: Official Website Twitter LinkedIn   Simone's Book: The Good Enough Job

As Americans, we are defined by our jobs. But what if our jobs were just part of our lives, and our identities came from something far more personal? Simone Stolzoff's new book is THE GOOD ENOUGH JOB: Reclaiming Life from Work. It's a look at why work has become central to our identities, and how to separate our self-worth from our output. Simone Stolzoff is an independent journalist and consultant. He works with leaders—from the Surgeon General of the United States to the Chief Talent Officer at Google—on how to make the workplace more human-centered.

Many of us value our work to the point where we tie our identities to our jobs, but one expert suggests we shouldn't. Workplace expert, journalist and author Simone Stolzoff urges readers to live more diverse lives and find fulfilment in other ways- with only a few changes. Stolzoff has spoken with Wall Street bankers, teachers, and even Google's Chief Talent Officer to challenge workaholism in his book The Good Enough Job. "There are many risks in treating your work as your sole source of identity or meaning, as many people found out during the pandemic. If your identity is your work and you lose your work- what's left?" LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week I'm discussing work culture with journalist and author Simone Stolzoff.It seems like work has gotten out of control. People introduce themselves at dinner parties with their job title, working long hours and having stress is a badge of honor to people and we're expected to drop everything when our boss calls.If you think it all sounds toxic, you're right. Yet, we all continue to operate this week. We are letting work take over our lives. What's the phrase? We are living to work instead of working to live. How did we get here? Is it making us happy? And how do we fix it? Those are some of the questions that I answer with Simone Stolzoff. He recently published a book called 'The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life From Work.' We discuss the book and other things as we tackle the subject of our wild work culture in America.For more from Simone Stolzoff: WEBSITE and INSTAGRAMFor more from Adult Education: @adulteducationpodcastFor more from host Jeff St. Pierre: @stpierreonair

Particularly in American culture, productivity is seen as a measure of moral good, and subsequently, many people define their identity by the work they do. Simone Stolzoff is trying to turn this way of thinking on its head. Simone is an author, designer, and workplace expert from San Francisco. Through his book, The Good Enough Job, Simone promotes the idea of separating self-worth from output and treating work more transactionally. One of the central questions that Simone explores in the book is, “How do we pursue meaningful work without letting what we do for work subsume who we are?” In this episode, Simone shares the journey that led him to write the book, examples of how you can redefine your identity as more than just the job you have, and his vision for the future of work. This is the book I wish I had written, and I hope it changes your life as much as it has changed mine! ​ The Good Enough Job Simone Stolzoff Simone Stolzoff on Instagram Simone Stolzoff on LinkedIn Simone Stolzoff on Twitter Ashley Menzies Babatunde Ashley Menzies Babatunde on Instagram Hubspot Podcast Network

Navigating crossroads in our careers isn't easy — not when we're traditionally employed, and certainly not as freelancers, where we pick the rules. The possibilities can seem endless. One assignment, one client, or maybe even one email can completely change what we decide to do next. While considering making a big career shift, we can sometimes feel stuck, and the next steps might not feel immediately obvious.  In this episode, guest host Simone Stolzoff joins Wudan to talk about how to navigate big career transitions.  Simone is a journalist and designer based in San Francisco who's published in The Atlantic, New York Times, and many other national outlets. He's also an expert on work and teaches a whole class on designing your next career step. His first book, The Good Enough Job is out on May 23. He has had a fascinating career, weaving from journalism to working at the international design consulting firm, IDEO, and back to media.

“Work will always be work. Some people work doing what they love. Other people work so that they can do what they love when they're not working. Neither is more noble.” This is a quote from Simone Stolzoff's new book The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life From Work, that's set to publish in a couple weeks. And regardless of where you fall on that spectrum, whether you live to work, or work to live, Simone makes the argument that there are too many of us who are looking to our jobs to provide fulfillment in ways that are unhealthy. For some our careers have replaced religion, for others it's a deep meaningful passion they're looking for, and yet others have replaced their social circle with their office, and friends with their co-workers. We're asking our work to wear too many hats! So today we have a great conversation with Simone Stolzoff about diversifying our identities, steps that both employers and employees can take in order to help define the ‘good enough job', and some practical steps we can take in order to create boundaries in our pursuit of work-life balance.   Want more How To Money in your life?

Is a job meant to be a calling or is it just a means to an end? And where are the lines between work and life anyway? They might have been clear before the pandemic, but now? Not so much. Zoom calls that never end and bosses who now think you are available to respond at any time of day or night have made people rethink their relationship to their job. Is it even possible to have a healthy relationship with work? Journalist and author Simone Stolzoff contends that it is.

We can put huge amounts of physical and emotional energy into our jobs - even basing our self-worth on our achievements at work and letting ourselves be defined by what we do. So have our careers taken over too much of our lives?  Simone Stolzoff (author of The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work) argues that we should stop hunting for the "perfect" job - that idealized career that will prove to others how smart, industrious or virtuous we are - and instead find an occupation that allows to us live happier and more rounded lives that don't revolve only around work. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is your job your singular focus or simply a way to fund your passion? Is your career the thing that defines you, or do you identify as something different...something unrelated to your work? Do we put too much pressure on our careers to deliver happiness? Ease? Meaning? Joy? SHOW NOTES Today on Crina and Kirsten Get to Work out hosts talk about the concept of good enough as an important part of ease, meaning and joy. Pascal Bruckner said, “unhappiness is not only unhappiness,; it is, worse yet, a failure to be happy.”  This quotation acknowledges the expectation that we all be “happy” and when we are not, we have somehow failed, missed the point or missed out generally.  The point of this show is to explore that possibility that “good enough” can actually contribute to ease meaning and joy.  Some people, like Kirsten, experience work as deeply meaningful – although stressful.  Crina's son works when he needs money.  These are two very different approaches to work.  Is it realistic for everyone to “pursue their passion?  Do you really have to find a dream job so you never work a day in your life?  Can it actually be about something more than the money – or is it just a matter of paying the bills? Our hosts posit that putting pressure on ourselves to create the perfect job probably takes away from ease, meaning and joy at work – and at the same time, is there something more than just a paycheck? Rather than dig into the research, our hosts dig into the history.  The idea that we love our work is a relatively new phenomena.  Historically, work was never supposed to be enjoyable.  In fact, author Sarah Jaffe, whose book Work Won't Love You Back hits stores in January of 2022, argues that the “love your work” mantra is a myth of capitalism.” She says that in the 1970s, just when manufacturing began to die and labor movements began to lose ground, bosses started handing down aphorisms like, “Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.” When we carry the belief that we must find meaning and fulfillment from work, we can be disappointed – and we can neglect other parts of our lives.  If our jobs are our sole source of fulfillment, we not only create unrealistic expectations, but also miss out on other parts of our lives. Enter the idea of the "good enough" job – relatively enjoyable paid work that meets your financial needs while leaving you with enough time and energy to pursue your passions and callings outside of work.   Maybe you love the people you work with, or the work that you do – or even the mission of your employer – the point is that there is something in the job you find enjoyable. The "good enough" job embraces the reality that not everyone's call is this work, the "good enough" job leaves you time to focus on other meaningful aspects of your life – art, music, volunteering, reading, relationships etc.   The "good enough" job is more flexible because you have less investment.  It is easier to leave a "good enough" job to do something else because your interests have changed or to move somewhere else.  Because there is less energy and connection and commitment to the "good enough" job, it is less likely to hold you back from other parts of your life.  Consider, friends, the "good enough" job!   Good Reads: Fredi Founders Discuss The Fallacy Of "If You Love What You Do, You'll Never Work a Day in Your Life."
