Beyond Productivity: Living From the Inside Out (Episode 3)

By Charlie Gilkey on January 15, 2009 2 Comments

(This podcast is also available from iTunes under Productive Flourishing.)

Authenticity, Productivity, and the Four Hour Work Week

In Episode 3, Dustin, Andre, Jonathan, and I discuss authenticity, identity, money, and the Four Hour Work Week.

In this episode, you’ll hear about…

  • How important, and unimportant, defining ourselves can be
  • Why maybe it’s not a good thing to identify with your job
  • Why we don’t need a productivity system when we’re doing what we love
  • How money may not solve all our problems

    Thanks for this episode. When you said that people who go into their jobs with a clear goal seem to have more satisfaction, even if the job doesn’t look that pleasant to do from the outside, that reminded me of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s idea in “Flow” that the flow state is only available to us with a clearly defined and achievable goal. He looks at an example of a guy who works on a machine part assembly line, and actually really likes his job because he’s always pushing himself to beat his previous times for assembling his products. — Best, Chris

    Good stuff.

    I’m a fan of the inside out. If you’re not familiar w/the Golden Circle, you might like it. It’s about focusing on figuring out your “whys” and your “hows” … so you can take your game to any “what’s.” It frees you up from defining yourself by what you do, to why you do.
