As you know this blog is really about work and, specifically, what is wrong with it and how to fix it.
However, what I was really trying to do in the book and now in this blog is to reconsider what work is. In other words, I think we need to re-write the rules of work. The ones we have today largely don't work.
Today I watched a fantastic film on Ted.com presented by a married couple intent on doing that same with Parenthood. They have set about challenging the rules of parenting, in particular the lies parents tell one another which actually get in the way of enjoying being a parent (and, I imagine, get in the way of enjoying being a kid!).
Whether you have children or not, you may enjoy this film simply because it destroys the myths of parenthood and replaces them with common sense...which as we all know is not that common.
Imagine if we could do the same with the workplace? I would love to know what you consider are the lies or myths about the workplace and how we might start re-writing the rules, just as this couple are doing in their world. Click here.
