[Best Of] Live Fiercely, Study Deeply . . . While Earning a Living — with Jonathan Fields
"Uncertainty may bring unease, but it also brings a vital energy, the
exhilaration of creation. Without uncertainty, there is no
possibility." —Jonathan Fields
As I get up to speed in my first semester at Union, I’m re-launching a few
of my favorite podcast episodes from four years of archives: I hope you
enjoy some of these oldies but goodies, particularly if you missed them the
first time around! Here’s a conversation I loved with dear friend and
mentor Jonathan Fields, from October 2016.
Jonathan Fields' mission is to "live fiercely and study deeply." How does
he do that while earning a living? That's what we unpack in this week's
episode. According to Jonathan, "There are only two ways to earn a living:
you're either solving a problem or delivering a delight. If you're lucky
and creative, you do both simultaneously."
Jonathan—or "JF" as I like to call him—has been a longtime mentor whose
pivots have inspired me and countless others at every turn: from lawyer to
yoga studio founder to author of three books, Jonathan is now studying and
embodying what it means to live a good life. We recorded this episode from
his plush velvety couches at Good Life Project Headquarters (aka his
apartment on the Upper West Side) — I hope you enjoy this off-the-cuff
conversation as much as I did. Be sure to grab Jonathan's new book, How to
Live a Good Life: Soulful Stories, Surprising Science, and Practical Wisdom
, out this week! And his free recently released Unbusy Manifesto.
