We are living in an era of unprecedented crisis, resulting in widespread feelings of fear, despair, and grief. Now, more than ever, maintaining hope for the future is a monumental task. Intrinsic Hope: Living Courageously in Troubled Times by Kate Davies, M.A.D., offers a powerful antidote to these feelings. Kate Davies has worked with numerous nongovernmental and governmental organizations on environmental issues, including Greenpeace, and is currently core faculty at Antioch University Seattle’s Center for Creative Change and Clinical Associate Professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Washington. Are you trapped in wage slavery at a dead end job, not knowing how to channel your talents to your real life’s purpose? In Work That Matters: Create a Livelihood that Reflects Your Core Intention, life coach Maia Duerr shares her “6 Keys to Liberation-Based Live-lihood� to point you in a positive direction towards breaking that glass ceiling. Maia is a writer, organizational consultant, and coach for people going through life and career transitions, drawing years of Zen meditation practice and training in anthropology to create powerful tools for integrating mindfulness into the workplace and home life. Aaron Edelheit used to work so hard, it nearly killed him. In The Hard Break: The Case for a 24/6 Lifestyle, he breaks down the myths around productivity, revealing how taking a one day “hard break� each week to reset can be a life-changing experience, and shares the seven steps to a successful Sabbath. Aaron is the Chief Strategy Officer for FLO Technologies. He is the founder of Mindset Capital, a private investment firm, and serves on the board of Moishe House Foundation, also partnering with Social Venture Partners in Santa Barbara working on homelessness.

180527 Maia Duerr - Work That Matters by Richard Dugan

A lot of people work at a job they hate simply because we all need money. We can't all have a job where we blow air horns at golfers. What we can do is see if we can figure out what drew us to this job in the first place and try to make it the way we thought it would be. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
