Download Big Work: Real Stories of How Our Jobs Do (and Don't) Define Us AudioBook Free
Big Work examines our present day relationship to your jobs and the ripples this causes throughout our lives. Predicated on interviews with folks from all across the united states, the play comes after 17 real people who reveal experiences about their dreams, about sensing unseen, about unexpectedly starting over, and about looking for employment and themselves. What starts as a talk about the work we do is woven into a larger story about individuality, this is of success, and what this means to both make a living and generate a life. This recording can be an audio tracks performance of the play by the whole original cast. Through the playwrights: In 2014, we'd both just changed 30, and sensed largely defined by the ways we made our livings. Melissa was struggling with what this means to be an designer with each day job. And Kate, after retreating into work during a long period of illness, was determining where work easily fit into the new lease of life she was building. We'd also been having in-depth discussions with people in our lives in what this means to be observed as less valuable in the workforce as you era, what you are supposed to sacrifice to get ahead in a career, how to balance the demands of a family group with the demands of a place of work, whether or not our passions should be our jobs, and what this means to try so hard and always appear short. At the same time, it appeared like everyone we achieved asked us the same question, "What now ??" It commenced to feel as though the language we use to communicate with each other strengthened the idea - intentionally or not - that our value originates from how we earn a living. We began calling strangers all across the country, asking to interview them about these issues. We wove the transcripts from those interviews into this 90-minute play about the really big, really complicated thoughts folks have about their work and what this means in their lives.
