Can You Really Achieve Work Life Balance...

Jacob Morgan
About this episode

Do you believe in work-life balance?

This topic is getting a lot of attention these days.

But work-life balance doesn’t exist.

There’s no such thing as a perfect ratio between work and life.

Life doesn’t work that way.

So instead of talking about work-life balance, the conversation should be more about work-life integration.

We need both of those things to thrive and survive.
