CAL NEWPORT on The Moral Weight of Working, Not Working, and Bragging About Both

CAL NEWPORT on The Moral Weight of Working, Not Working, and Bragging About Both

Some people love to grind and work long days and on the weekends. Some people like never to work outside of traditional hours. Some people like to brag about how much they work. Other people like to brag about how little they work. When should we work? Is there such a thing as too much work? Too little work? Our good friend, colleague, and always critical thinker Cal Newport (author of Deep Work, Digital Minimalism, and A World Without Email) joins us for a wide-ranging discussion on work. Part philosophical theory, part cultural critique, and part pragmatic, this episode is for everyone who “works,” which, as you'll see, is all of us.

Six Hot (and Thoughtful) Takes on Performance

On this episode of The Growth Equation Podcast, Brad and Steve offer six hot (and thoughtful) takes on topics related to performance and well-being. They discuss whether it's better to have low expectations and if inspiration can actually help performance. The two debate how much of performance is luck versus skill and how our perceptions change when our knowledge changes. Finally, they turn to why constraints are actually a good thing and how anyone can cultivate courage.Inspiration has limitsChance vs. control. vs. skillConstraintsCourageExpectations vs realityDeep understanding vs. staying on the surfacePlease write a review on Apple Podcasts and help new listeners discover the show!You can find the podcast on:iTunes and Apple PodcastsSpotifyAndroidStitcherFind Brad and Steve on Twitter: @Bstulberg and @stevemagness The post Six Hot (and Thoughtful) Takes on Performance appeared first on The Growth Equation.

The Pandemic and the Burnout Epidemic

The Pandemic and the Burnout Epidemic

In the United States the COVID-19 pandemic is slogging away, now entering its sixth month, making it the perfect time for Brad and Steve to discuss one of their favorite topics: burnout. On this episode of The Growth Equation Podcast, the pair dive into why so many of us are feeling burnt out at this time—from lack of temporary boundaries (e.g., work time v. family time) to lack of physical boundaries (e.g., lack of office v. away) to simple lack of control (e.g., ability to return to “normal”). Fortunately, they offer tools and frameworks to combat burnout, such as taking action, imposing routine, vacillating between stress and rest, and finding purpose.Related Resources:Burnout and the BrainIs Your Boss Causing Your Burnout?A Simple Solution to Millennial BurnoutAn Updated Toolkit to Address BurnoutBurnout Runs Deeper Than Too Much WorkPlease write a review on Apple Podcasts and help new listeners discover the show!You can find the podcast on:iTunes and Apple PodcastsSpotifyAndroidStitcherFind Brad and Steve on Twitter: @Bstulberg and @stevemagness The post The Pandemic and the Burnout Epidemic appeared first on The Growth Equation.
