February 20, 2024 23:00 - 1 hour - 86.3 MB

When was the last time you were genuinely playful at work? If you are like most of us, it might have been a while. We’ve been conditioned to believe that work and play don’t really mix. Not only we’ve been taught to draw a clear demarcation line between work and play, we’ve also been convinced that work is somehow way more noble and more important that play. But what if truly great work couldn’t happen without a healthy dose of play? What if, unless we can have fun with the work itself, at...

February 06, 2024 23:00 - 59 minutes - 82.3 MB

Can you remember a time when it felt like things at work were unjustifiably and annoyingly hard? Maybe you had to read a 1000-word email that could have been just one paragraph, or had to attend a two-hour meeting that could have been an email. Or maybe you had to manually input data although the process should have been automated ages ago. The reality is that every workplace is clogged with this type of destructive friction—the time-consuming, and soul-crushing practices that drive us cra...

Zoe Chance explains this reaction this way: “The idea of influence has been corrupted by tacky, greedy people using tacky, greedy tactics to sell...

Teresa Clark - The Path to Well-Being at Work

June 06, 2023 22:00 - 1 hour - 55.9 MB

Picture our ancestors, hunters and gatherers roaming the savannah.
