Take Two

How many of us are working in jobs or professions that no longer fulfill us?Plenty.But most of us don’t see a way out; we need to continue to work for the paycheck, to support our families, to pay our bills.What we yearn for, while heading off each morning to a job that leaves us feeling empty, is an inner sense of meaning.James Adams felt that way. He was a senior marketing executive with decades of experience, an entrepreneur in the food industry, and he was fed up.So in his 60s, he embarked on perhaps the greatest risk of his profesinal life. He quit. Walked away from his career.Took up meditation and along the way began to find himself again.He now teaches it to what he calls “forward thinking companies”.James is our guest this week on The Art 2 Aging.
