The only thing worse than having a job is not having one. Why does it seem such a rarity that people are employed doing something they enjoy? Why do we feel compelled to work a job at all?
It's all down to the story we are told from birth -- a story that's falling apart.

Narratively Speaking is a different kind of podcast.
I'm not trying to give any answers, and don't even pretend I have any -- I'm just following an original train of thought and seeing where it leads us. It's the kind of stuff you think about on the bus, or in the shower, but rarely write down or talk to your friends about.
Do you ever wonder how much story is affecting you? What if story is more than mere words and pictures stored in your brain, but rather, the stuff your consciousness is made of?
This is episode 9. You can follow the link above or search for it in your favourite podcast app.
