Work: Money or Meaning?
Should work be more than just a means to an end? Episode 42 of the Morality of Everyday Things is out now (and part 1 of a two-part discussion on work and careers).
Episode 42 is now live. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Anchor, Google Podcasts, Acast and more.
Also a big thank you to the 94 people who have rated us on Spotify (average 4.9 stars!) - we really appreciate it :)
Work: Money or Meaning?
Fittingly, considering 42 is the answer to the meaning of life, our 42nd episode is all about meaning. Specifically, what is it, how do we find it in our work and what kind of careers should we pursue?
In a slightly different format to normal, today we have a discussion around the role that work should have in our lives. Should jobs that make us have to choose between doing good and making money even exist really? Why is there a cultural dichotomy between making money and pursuing meaning. Has this always been the case?
This is a loosely scripted/planned episode based on an essay written by Ant, which can be found here.
