Marcus Buckingham: Weirdness Is The Key To Self Improvement

In this podcast, Marcus Buckingham takes on a journey through what makes the individual unique and why everyone should embrace their weirdness. Marcus discusses the Norse concept of "WYRD," whereby everyone is born with a unique "Spirit" or "Daemon" that defines the life we subsequently lead. "Red Threads" are the energy fields we should search out and harness to enjoy our life here on earth fully, and you notice those energy fields when time begins to pass so quickly that you don't see it. Marcus Buckingham has devoted his career to understanding what makes people thrive at work. His new book, Love + Work, takes readers on a journey to discover where they are at their best—both at work and in life. Marcus draws on years of research to explore the concept of "flow"—a state of peak performance in which we are fully engaged and lost in the moment. He shows us how to find our flow by uncovering our strengths and values and reveals the surprising secret to a fulfilled career: not finding our passion but loving our work. With insights and stories from some of the world's most successful people, Marcus provides a roadmap for anyone who wants to achieve their full potential. Love + work is an essential guides to living a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling. Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.
