Philosophy of your Career, Success and Failure
Another great TED talk from philosopher Alain de Botton on careers, job snobbery, the “you can do anything” & “follow your dream” culture. A culture that will sell you a self-help book to support the sense-flagging self-esteem. Feeding on the fear of being judged for being a failure both in life and in your work.
All this and many other very interesting perspectives on managing success, failure and how a meritocracy will never work. Interested to hear about your thoughts on these views and how you might see things differently?
