One of my favorite quotes from any movie, ever, is from Men in Black—when Tommy Lee Jones is talking to Will Smith about the existence of aliens (I may have written and recorded a whole blog about it years ago):

"Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."

Humans are pretty good at getting wrapped up in our own experience. We forget that "how it is" is often not how it's always been, or even how it is now in other places around the world.

One of those things we're convinced is true now, but hasn't been true for most of human history? That your life revolves around your career.

So, in this month's brand-new Side Chat we're taking you on a journey that might make you squirm, but you most definitely need to hear. We talk about…

• What humans were obsessing over before they started fixating on their career
• The reason we made the shift to obsessing over our careers, and what's going on under the surface
• Why making your career the thing your life revolves around never works
• The one quality you need to have if you want to have a life—not just a career—you deeply enjoy
