Are you at the threshold of a new phase in your life, ready to rediscover (and redefine) how you will continue to work and find purpose in your next chapter? New York Times bestselling author Bruce Feiler joins us to chat about how to find meaning, balance, and joy at a time when many of us feel stuck, confused, and unsure about our next steps.

America at large is at a once-in-a-generation turning point in work: 70% of Americans are unhappy with what they do. A million people a week quit their job-that's a third of the workforce. Another third question how they work, where they work, and when they work. The Search: Finding Meaningful Work in a Post-Career World is a timely and revelatory portrait of today's workers that offers a bold new roadmap for finding work you love based on the life stories of hundreds of Americans.

The Search reveals that many of us are using an outdated operator's manual around work. We've been told you need to have a career; there is one path to success; you should always be reaching higher and wanting more. Few ideas have squandered more potential. The Search offers a new model of success that is flexible, personal, and designed by each individual to meet their own needs.
Bruce will share some of the key ideas that emerged from his work on the book, in addition to questions you can ask yourself to help you find the path that will guide you towards a truly meaningful life, inside and outside of the workplace.

In this program, you'll discover:

• Statistics that help identify this unique turning point in American work.
• Aggregate insights from over 1,500 hours of interviews with Americans from all walks of life.
• 21 questions you can ask yourself to find work you love.

What will happen to the wisdom you've gained from experience and the stories of the life you alone have lived? Do you keep promising yourself to write them down but never quite get around to it? Do you delete almost as many words as you write? Do you write things that never get shared?

Nobody is born knowing how to write. Like any skill, writing improves with deliberate practice and attention. Although there is no single recipe that works for every writer, there are common ingredients that recur in successful writing practices. One of the best ways to discover your own recipe is to adopt an experimental mindset and try various approaches until you find what works for you. This month's guest, Kathryn Britton, has helped hundreds of writers get past writer's block and find their own voices.

In this program, you'll discover some of the techniques in her book, Sit Write Share, which includes:

• 13 Sit experiments to help you get your writing started, escape writer's block, defeat internal gremlins, build habits, and find inspiration.
• 26 Write experiments to help you imagine your message, create a rough draft, and then edit in phases until your polished version emerges.
• 16 Share experiments to help you get support, publish, and spread your message to those who need it.

About Kathryn Britton:

Kathryn Britton did not start out intending to focus on writing. In her 30-year career as a software engineer, it was a surprise to find herself writing more prose than code, producing design documents, patent applications, and papers.

In 2006, Kathryn earned a Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) degree in the pioneer class for the program at the University of Pennsylvania. Searching for a new career that would contribute to worldwide well-being led her to work with writers. In 2013, she ran her first writers' workshop. Since then, more than 140 people have gathered in regular workshop meetings. More than 3700 writing submissions have gone through this process. She also coaches individual authors and has edited several of their books. Some of her clients call her "the midwife of words."

Kathryn continues to write with zest herself. She has published more than 100 articles online. Her books include Smarts and Stamina: The Busy Person's Guide to Optimal Health and Performance, Character Strengths Matter, Thriving Women Thriving World, and Sit Write Share.

A resident of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Kathryn is overjoyed to be the close-by grandmother of two preschool boys.
