Podcasts about total work

Productivity isn't just about finding more time; it's about better allocating the time we have. In part two of this episode with James Parnell, Founder of the Wellbeing Gym, we explore ways to leverage neuroscience and circadian rhythms for enhanced alertness, deep thinking and, ultimately, a more fulfilling life away from the concept of "Total Work". Parts of this conversation with James Parnell were originally released in September 2018 as part of Season 2.

Andrew is a Practical Philosopher who believes that "there may be no greater vexation in our time than the question of how to make a living in a manner that accords with leading a good life." We dive deep into the questions of "what is the good life?" and what he means by "sustaining life." He also shares his perspective on the concept of "Total Work," a phrase first put forth in 1947 by the German Philosopher Josef Pieper, and shares how that phrase became central to his current writing on the topic and conversations he has with business leaders and executives.We also dive into his dichotomy of the three modes people could think about to make a living: Use what you've got Exchange what's in hand Offer what you can He reflects on our modern culture's over-reliance on exchanging our time for money while ignoring how we can live off the land and operate within the gift economy. Next, we talk about some of the different modes of living (whether it be a "settler", nomad or somewhere in between) and the implications for the community in society as a whole as well as how has dealt with that with his wife.Finally, Andrew offers three practical steps people can take to re-engage with life and try to understand what "a life worth living looks like" that does not include the advice to just quit your job. Dis-identify with the identity of the worker: Questioning whether you truly only are a worker, a CEO, a marketing manager, an accountant, etc... Begin an inquiry into the question "If I am not a worker, then who am I?": What else is worth living for? What practices do I want to have in part of my life? What relationships and conversations nourish me? The question whether or not the life you have defined is "sufficient": Are you thinking deeply enough about the question of who you are?

And finally, they will meet an aging loner who finds courage and resilience hidden in the most unexpected of places—the next generation.

Alex was crushing it early in his career, ending up on Wall Street after getting a combined JD/MBA.  But after a few years, he went looking for his next mountain, aiming his ambition at the tech sector. He ended up co-founding LiveOak, a company he eventually sold in 2020. After that, he struggled to determine what was next and finally decided to walk away from more than a million dollars. Now he's embracing non-doing, reconnecting with his passions, and figuring out what's next.

The total work of art, as conceived by Walter Gropius, in which painting, sculpture and architecture are combined, had an integral designer as its operator. Is it possible, nowadays, to keep on thinking of the designer as an individual capable of interdisciplinary articulation or will the level of diversification definitively make the designer specialize more and more? El objeto de arte total, como lo concebía Walter Gropius, en el que se conjugan pintura, escultura, arquitectura tenía como operador un diseñador integral. En la actualidad ¿es posible seguir pensando en el diseñador como un sujeto capaz de articularse de manera transdisciplinar o definitivamente el nivel de diversificación hará que el diseñador se especialice cada vez más? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mapeando-la-bauhaus/message

"It's as if all of our lives we've been going along on a horse and life gives us this gift—a painful one of knocking us off the horse—and something within us is curious enough or perhaps strong enough not to get back on it." —Andrew Taggart

Andrew Taggart is a nomadic philosopher and contemplative currently writing about ‘Total Work’, where the paradigm of work is becoming the central mechanism of our identities.In our conversation, we dig into the relationship between Total Work and postmodernism, the shortcomings of radical leftists in considering what constitutes ‘the good life’ beyond material subsistence, his experience with meditation, consciousness, and various methods - from education to psycho-technologies - for moving beyond nihilism.

This week, we talk about the ways in which work dominates our lives and our minds, and get into the details of our extremely vexed relationship with our work. Are the causes mostly internal, external, or both? How is the obsession with work potentially harmful? Is the ideal of work, ultimately, a good one to organize a society and value system around? Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn

How does God's law save us from a life of "Total Work?"

New Slow City: Living Simply in the World's Fastest City (New World Library)Burned-out after years of doing development work around the world, William Powers spent a season in a 12-foot-by-12-foot cabin off the grid in North Carolina, as recounted in his award-winning memoir Twelve by Twelve. Could he live a similarly minimalist life in the heart of New York City? To find out, Powers and his wife jettisoned 80 percent of their stuff, left their 2,000-square-foot Queens townhouse, and moved into a 350-square-foot "micro-apartment" in Greenwich Village. Downshifting to a two-day workweek, Powers explores the viability of Slow Food and Slow Money, technology fasts and urban sanctuaries. Discovering a colorful cast of New Yorkers attempting to resist the culture of Total Work, Powers offers an inspiring exploration for anyone trying to make urban life more people- and planet-friendly.Today's event is being co-sponsored by Slow Food LA, CRSP Institute for Urban Ecovillages at Los Angeles Eco-Village, Slow Food USA, and World Policy Institute.Praise for New Slow City"All of us sense that we could live better, kinder lives. But Bill Powers has the courage to try to change and then -- ever so artfully, without the slightest wag of a finger -- to show us how."-- Colin Beavan, author of No Impact Man "The reenchantment of urban life -- so compromised by the accelerated techno-industrial culture -- takes work, and William Powers saves us a lot of time on the learning curve. Hats off, especially to his courage."-- Douglas Tompkins, founder of the North Face clothing company and the Foundation for Deep Ecology "In the City That Never Sleeps, in a place whose very definition of success is 'bigger, better, faster, ' Powers attempts to lead a more deliberate life, to paraphrase Thoreau....Will his time spent off the grid in rural North Carolina prepare him for downsizing to a 340-square-foot micro apartment in the heart of Manhattan? With his new bride? Who soon becomes pregnant? Analyzing what it means to 'want what we want, ' Powers turns his ecologically contemplative gaze both inward and outward, to matters both personal and global, to reconnect with those increasingly rare pockets of peace, tranquility, and mindfulness that will allow him to appreciate life at a slower pace and from a simpler vantage point. One need not live in a city to savor Powers' languid, albeit unconventional, advocacy for an unhurried pace."-- Booklist "Is it possible to live an earth-friendly and spiritually fulfilling life in the middle of the bustle of a big city? William Powers and his wife are the perfect people to find out. I found that the tales of the remarkable people they meet, the challenges they confront, and the beauty and joy they discover nourished a part of my soul that rarely gets fed. Never preachy, always entertaining, and often wise, this is a splendid book for anyone wanting to bring more heart and joy to urban living."-- John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America "New Slow City tells an inspiring story. At the outset, Powers's goal -- to live slowly and mindfully in frantic Manhattan -- seems quixotic in the extreme. But one should never underestimate a determined idealist. This delightfully provocative book will speak to anyone trying to build a balanced life in our crazy world. I first came to know Powers's work because we coincidentally share the same name. Now I read him to question my own assumptions and reimagine how to live."-- William Powers, New York Times-best-selling author of Hamlet's BlackBerry"An inspirational quest to slow down, simplify, and find serenity in a supercharged city. William Powers discovers the joy in less stuff, less work, and less speed!"-- Francine Jay, author of The Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide"Powers's message, honed through his experiences living in poor countries like Bolivia, shows that we can live simply, sustainably, and happily. And I know it's real because I stayed with him in his tiny place. But Powers also slows down -- at least as important as scaling down -- and learns to savor the little daily miracles of life. This message may be just what you need to change your own life for the better. Don't miss it!"-- John de Graaf, coauthor of the New York Times bestsellerAffluenza and What's the Economy For, Anyway? and executive director of Take Back Your Time "Powers places the difficult decisions we face on a daily basis into an equation that should provide us all with an optimistic glimpse of how to slow our lives down. Read New Slow City and watch as its insights pepper your daily decisions while you navigate the folly of the fast life."-- Richard McCarthy, executive director of Slow Food USA William Powers has worked for two decades in development aid and conservation in Latin America, Africa, and North America. From 2002 to 2004 he managed the community components of a project in the Bolivian Amazon that won a 2003 prize for environmental innovation from Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. His essays and commentaries on global issues have appeared in the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune and on NPR’s Fresh Air. Powers has worked at the World Bank and holds international relations degrees from Brown and Georgetown. A third-generation New Yorker, Powers has also spent two decades exploring the American culture of speed and its alternatives in some fifty countries around the world. He has covered the subject in his four books and written about it in the Washington Post and the Atlantic. Powers is a senior fellow at the World Policy Institute and an adjunct faculty member at New York University. His website is www.williampowersbooks.com.

Bernini Part Two! We discuss how Bernini sought to combine color, sculpture light and architecture into a single, unified, and total work of art. But Bernini went beyond even that, by creating what can be described as 'layered realities' within several of his works resulting in some of the richest and most complex sculptures ever created.
