Is Contribution All?

It’s popular to extol the “life” part of “work-life balance” and its various manifestations such as exhortations to meditate. The masses have glommed onto such simplisms as “You’re a human being, not a human doing”

Yet, across the 5,600 career and personal advising clients I’ve had over the past 30 years, many if not most of the people who are highly satisfied with their life have a life that's "out of balance.” They work long hours and value doing that.

I make the case for such a life in my PsychologyToday.com article today.
