When work feels pointless, Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi disagree on what that feeling means and what to do about it—but they're all pointing at the same problem: you're not actually present in what you're doing, and you're working for ghosts instead of yourself. This episode cuts through the noise of productivity advice to ask the harder question: are you willing to show up honestly to the work in front of you, and can you see who you're really trying to impress?
