Balancing work with life: can it actually be done?

The pandemic changed the way we look at work. The Great Resignation saw 50.5 million people quitting jobs in search of higher wages and remote work. Many people started prioritizing a healthy work-life balance and needed their jobs to reflect that. What does that look like? And, which people and populations are at the forefront of this?  Thane Lawrie is the author of The Buddhist CEO. The fictional story is based on his own experience of trying to manage the stress of a CEO while finding the peace of a Buddhist. He discusses Western society’s obsession with hustle culture and what prioritizing work and life means for the future of labor.
