So often in our hyper-connected society, we become so immersed in work that we struggle to come up for air.

We’re no longer driven individuals but rather people being drawn by outside factors, and we lose control over our lives. Dr. Bryan E. Robinson, a licensed psychotherapist and Professor Emeritus at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, equates this lifestyle to driving a car with no gas and no brakes. 

He shares advice for finding a balance between home and work in order to live life on your own terms. By taking time each day to stop, check in with yourself and meditate, you’ll actually become happier and more productive than if you rush through the day with your foot on the gas.

Listen as Dr. Robinson joins Dr. Holly Lucille to discuss the difference between being driven and being drawn when it comes to work/life balance.
