Program Description: If you're feeling frustrated and exhausted by the way you make your living, or just have a gnawing question about whether something better might be waiting around the bend, Thomas Moore may have a solution for you. He says, "If your life is going along in a complete, unbroken straight line, it's pretty hard to make a move in another direction. It's when those breaks come along, where things don't work out, and suddenly you're left nowhere, not knowing which direction to go next; those can be very creative moments, simply because you have some space to make a move." In this easy conversation with an old friend, Care of the Soul author Thomas Moore explores how we care for our souls through the work we do. He points to unexpected signs that it might be time to reexamine your career choice, and offers reassurance with stories of how he and others have come through crises on the job to find fulfillment they never knew was lacking. If you're feeling frustrated and exhausted by the way you make your living, or just have a gnawing question about whether something better might be waiting around the bend, Thomas Moore may have a solution for you. 1 Hour
