What Makes a Good Job? Bruce Feiler on F...

About this episode

For decades, the American middle-class dream encouraged the idea that work should be a central part of our identity and a source of meaning. But now, people are starting to question that philosophy. Burnout is rampant, wages are stagnating, and job security amidst a rapidly changing job market feels fragile.

This week we’re bringing back the first of three episodes from our June 2023 Good Jobs series: Jessi’s insightful conversation with Bruce Feiler, author of The Search: Finding Meaningful Work in a Post-Career World. Bruce argues that it’s time to break away from traditional narratives around careers and work. In this illuminating conversation, Bruce debunks common lies we tell ourselves about careers and offers practical advice for finding meaning in work.

Tune in to hear Bruce’s fresh perspective on work, life, and the balance between the two, as we explore the future of meaningful employment.

Continue the conversation at Hello Monday Office Hours! RSVP here to join us on the LinkedIn News page this Wednesday at 3 PM EST.
