Working on Purpose

Many of us go through life unaware of the unique lens through which we experience and interpret the world. We aren’t cognizant of the ways our perspective, attitudes, and values inform the way we navigate life and even do our work. Yet, we have the power to harness powerful mindfulness and can learn access our unconscious to make many more possible. Guest: Dr. Michael Harris

What did you want to be when you were a kid? Did you dream of being an astronaut or a police officer? Where did you get the idea and why did you want to pursue this kind of a career, and did you actually do it? Our fledgling ideas are early yearnings and guideposts as to what we aspire to be and do in our adulthood, and we often measure our life’s worth according to the extent to which we’ve achieved those childhood aims.
