The Good Life Method: How to Use Philosophy to Find Meaning in Life and Work, Part 3: Find Meaning and Purpose at Work

Work plays a deeply important role in our lives. Finding good work — which, for many of us, means getting a meaningful job that we care deeply about — can seem like the crucial factor in determining whether your life goes well or poorly, and whether you end up happy and fulfilled or miserable and empty. But things aren’t nearly so simple. Meghan Sullivan and Paul Blaschko, Notre Dame philosophy professors and co-authors of the newly released book The Good Life Method, invite you to continue the thoughtful, timely conversation about approaching the search for purpose in our work through the timeless lens of philosophy as self-care. We will share ways to shift our mindsets and think critically about the future as we dive headfirst into the promise of a new year.Featured Speakers: Ryan Cook, Alumnus, University of Notre Dame; Cybersecurity Consultant, EYPaul Blaschko, Assistant Teaching Professor in the Philosophy Department, University of Notre DameMeghan Sullivan, Wilsey Family Collegiate Professor of Philosophy, University of Notre DameRead this episode's recap over on the University of Notre Dame's open online learning community platform, ThinkND: go.nd.edu/a555d8.This podcast is a part of The Big Questions ThinkND Series titled “The Good Life Method”.Thanks for listening!
