236. 'The Work Life Balance Myth'


Listen Later

‘Work-life-balance’ is a common phrase, a buzzword even, that refers to the way we find balance in our professional lives and personal lives.  The goal for many is to achieve an equilibrium, where we devote sufficient time to our work, family, and personal lives, without letting one domain dominate the other.  But is work-life balance truly attainable in the ways most of us think of it?  Should we be focused on balancing all aspects of our lives at once, or is it natural that the balance be more heavily weighted toward certain domains at different time points of our lives?  Author David Mcneff joins the podcast.


David Mcneff's book - The Work-Life Balance Myth: Rethinking Your Optimal Balance for Success
