#116: Why asking ‘why bother’ is a lifesaver. With Jennifer Louden

Jennifer Louden is a personal growth expert and author of the bestselling ‘Why Bother’ – she is also a realist. We talk without self-help cliches about why and how you need to keep bothering – and why asking yourself ‘why bother?’ is crucial. A timely reminder to tap into your desires and ‘do’ - even when the world around you feels like a mess. As she says – ‘it’s time to get your bother on’.

 

In this episode we talk about:

How to keep growing after a long time in business
Why there are no secrets and silver bullet answers
The importance of letting yourself ask ‘why bother?’ when you feel lost or bored.
The 6-stages of bothering – a guide back to yourself
Remembering you have a life outside of work

 

A thought-provoking quote from Jennifer’s book – Why Bother

“Taking action is about opening yourself to caring and learning rather than rushing to certainty, success, or pleasing others.”
