Episode 4119: Joshua Becker explains why enjoying your work has far less to do with the job itself than with how you think about it, pointing out that two people in the same role can feel completely differently about it. He walks through seven steps, from recognizing that humans are built to work to releasing the pursuit of riches, that can turn an ordinary job into a real source of purpose and personal development.

"Changing our attitude towards work is often far easier than changing jobs." "While honest compensation should always be sought with both humility and pride, the pursuit of riches and wealth as an end goal is always a losing battle."
