Tony Tenaglier: In a Rush to Go Nowhere Finding Savasana and Rethinking Work, Life, and Meaning
from Hidden Secrets in Books · host Dominic
What if the reason you feel burned out at work isn't because you're weak—but because work was never designed for humans in the first place?Tony Tenaglier—aerospace Quality Manager, PhD researcher in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, author, and host of two podcasts—joins us for a conversation that bridges science, psychology, engineering, and philosophy to explore how we can live and work with greater purpose, integrity, and flow.Tony Tenaglier lives by a simple standard: say what you do, do what you say. Through his work, he explores meaningful work and self-awareness from two opposite sides of the same coin. His podcast Work Sucks, But I Like It focuses on external work—careers, organizations, leadership, and creating meaningful work in today's world. His podcast Yoga is a Practice, Not a Performance explores internal work—self-awareness, yoga philosophy, mindfulness, and the lifelong practice of becoming a better human being. Together, these conversations show that meaningful external work begins with meaningful internal work.In this episode, Tony Tenaglier shares why so many successful people feel like they're winning at work but losing themselves, why people are afraid to slow down, and what yoga philosophy can teach us about leadership and living with intention. He also discusses his upcoming book, In a Rush to Go Nowhere: Finding Savasana, and why slowing down can reduce stress, cultivate presence, and reconnect us with what matters most.If you're a high performer, leader, or anyone questioning whether there's more to life than the grind, this conversation with Tony Tenaglier will challenge you to rethink work and life.In this episode, we explore:· Why so many successful people feel like they're winning at work but losing themselves· Why people are afraid to slow down—and what that fear costs us· How the way we lead others reflects the way we lead ourselves· Why burnout is as much an internal problem as it is an organizational one· What yoga can do for your mental health· What separates people who simply survive work from those who genuinely thrive in it· The paradox of work—and why it matters today· What yoga philosophy can teach us about leadership, work, and living with intention· The difference between external work and internal work· Why motivation is overrated and mastery actually mattersConnect with Tony Tenaglier:· Website: https://inarushtogonowhere.com/· LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-tenaglier-bb037510/· Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tenaglier/· YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@worksucksbutilikeitListen to His Podcasts:· Work Sucks, But I Like It — https://worksucksbutilikeit.com/· Yoga is a Practice, Not a PerformancePre-Order His Book & Get the Free Companion Workbook:In a Rush to Go Nowhere: Finding Savasanahttps://inarushtogonowhere.com/
