The Purpose of Work and Life: Service, Joy, and Impact

Finding this enjoyment involves actively defining personal boundaries and rejecting the pervasive culture of overwork that equates exhaustion with excellence. It means intentionally carving out time for hobbies, physical activity, connection with nature, and meaningful time with loved ones, activities that ground the spirit and provide a perspective larger than the immediate professional demands. By cultivating a rich and varied existence outside of the workplace, the worker is not only happier but also more effective, bringing diverse insights and emotional intelligence back into their professional sphere.
