How to Find Meaning in Work That Feels Pointless
from The Stoic Compass
When work feels pointless, Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi disagree on what that feeling means and what to do about it—but they're all pointing at the same problem: you're not actually present in what you're doing, and you're working for ghosts instead of yourself. This episode cuts through the noise of productivity advice to ask the harder question: are you willing to show up honestly to the work in front of you, and can you see who you're really trying to impress?📖 Pay Attention by C.
