Really appreciate this article!! Would love to know more about ‘the lifestyle you want to build’ and how to know how careers map onto this?

Thank you Britnie! The specifics will vary, but there are several ways to get to the answer. It typically starts with visualizing what you would choose to do if you didn't have to earn money, then designing your career in such a way that it includes elements of that lifestyle. The most extreme version of that is sometimes called The Businessman and the Fisherman - https://thestorytellers.com/the-businessman-and-the-fisherman

I also go into some more of these themes in today's newsletter, which looks at designing a career with flexibility in mind - https://www.humanityworking.net/p/is-flexible-work-dying?r=ourxz
