Episode 45: Satisfaction vs Success

This week on The Living Experiment, we're talking about Satisfaction vs. Success — the sometimes surprising tensions that can exist between our pursuit of those two goals, and the ways we can redefine both in the service of our own health and happiness. In a world where it can seem like everybody on your social feeds is oozing wealth and glamour, it's easy to feel like you should be keeping up somehow — striving harder, achieving more. At the same time, slogging away at a dead-end job or a feeling stuck in a not-quite-right career can also be a soul-crushing endeavor. So here, we talk about our own relationship with our work and our ambitions, and we share the insights and open questions that we're still exploring in establishing our own definitions of a life well-lived. Finally we offer you some experiments to help you experience more satisfaction and success in your own life. Full show notes and resources at http://livingexperiment.com/satisfaction-vs-success/
