Alex Soojung-Kim Pang: Finding Purpose & Focus At Work
Episode description
Hello, my worker bees! So let's face it, the perfect office probably doesn't exist – but if it did, it would be the brainchild of Alex Soojung Kim Pang, PHD, a Silicon Valley consultant and a futurist who has spent the last two decades researching the nature of people, work and technology. Alex totally transformed how I think about the 'work-life balance' – we spoke about the need to instead create a sense of 'harmony' in your working day, instead (which also takes into account how much solo/social time you need as an individual). He proved a fascinating guest – we chatted about:
- Getting the right balance of social interaction and focussed solitude at work
- The relationship between 'rest' and being alone
- How to find a greater degree of purpose and 'flow' in our working days
- The need to create a distraction-free office environment post-pandemic
- Whether the terms ‘introvert’ and ‘extrovert’ are useful – or not
- Why we need to bring back the communal office lunchtime
& more!
Happy listening.
Alex Soojung-Kim Pang’s book, Rest, is available to buy now.
My book, Alonement: How To Be Alone and Absolutely Own It, is also out now from Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops.
