How to find fulfilling work

Hosted by LifeCheq, How to Find Fulfilling Work is part of The School of Life’s practical philosophy series, edited by its founder and chairman, Alain de Botton. The webinar will centre around the teachings from this novel and provide insight into how this can be applied practically to one’s life. 

It offers insight into how one might find fulfilling work by exploring competing claims, like the tension between money and status vs doing something meaningful. How to Find Fulfilling Work draws on sociology, psychology, history, and philosophy.
