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The Search reveals that many of us are using an outdated operator's manual around work.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.
