The average adult spends about a quarter of their life at work. When so much of our time is spent at our jobs and doing other tasks that may feel like work (cleaning, cooking, care giving, etc.), it becomes that much more desirable to find work that we truly love. The kind of work we do may not always be within our control, but the way we think about work is. In this module, we’ll spend some time examining our beliefs about work and how they impact our happiness.

We’ll also look at what our priorities are for integrating our work with our life. Some people may value flexibility above all else, while others may prioritize feeling connected to their role and tasks. Both of these factors determine how integrated our work and life are.
