Work plays a deeply important role in our lives.

But things aren’t nearly so simple. Meghan Sullivan and Paul Blaschko, Notre Dame philosophy professors and co-authors of the newly released book The Good Life Method, invite you to continue the thoughtful, timely conversation about approaching the search for purpose in our work through the timeless lens of philosophy as self-care. We will share ways to shift our mindsets and think critically about the future as we dive headfirst into the promise of a new year.
