Building a Good Life with writer Christina Patterson

One of the biggest challenges of modern work is how many of us lose touch with what actually matters to us.Not because we are careless, but because we are busy. Busy achieving. Busy performing.Of course having a roof over our heads and food on the table is important. But if we are lucky enough to have those things are in place, then what is all our busyness in service of?I spoke to the wonderful Christina Patterson, journalist, writer, broadcaster and executive coach, this week about ambition, identity, illness, beauty, loneliness and what it really means to live a good life.And at the heart of our conversation is the question: What matters enough that you are willing to build a life around it?The people I most admire are rarely the ones with the most perfect careers. They are the people whose paths feel coherent. People who have shaped both their work and their lives around what matters most to them.
