Are Our Jobs Getting In The Way Of Our Lives?
What would you do if you didn’t have to work? The author of a new book makes the case that work-life balance is nearly non-existent in today’s world, where we not only need to work to live, but are also expected to feel passionate about our jobs. We talk with the author about how our expectations of work have changed overtime, and how everyday people can fight to make it better.
