The Life Well Lived Podcast with Shane Breslin
The Life Well Lived Project is motivated by this: There is so much unhappiness, anxiety and depression in the world, and this work is about trying to make things better, tiny bit by tiny bit, one day at a time. The vision of the Life Well Lived Project is a world where this cycle of unhappiness, anxiety and depression does not have to be handed down across multiple generations and accepted as an unavoidable fact of life. The vision is a world where everyone is liberated to know, embrace and express the full breadth of their own individual uniqueness. And the vision is a world where we can work together to solve big problems, rather than squabble over minor matters out of a place of insecurity and hurt. I know that 45-60 minute podcasts, which is what most episodes of the Life Well Lived podcast are, is a big investment of your time, and your time is your most valuable asset. So it's a huge privilege for me, to have you here with me and my guests for this. If you enjoy the podcast, please go to Apple Podcasts, find this show and leave a review. And if you want to make sure you don't miss any future episodes, please sign up for updates about the Life Well Lived Project. Go to my website at https://www.shanebreslin.com/mission.

Productivity is one of those areas that has exploded into a major industry over the past couple of decades.
The concept of productivity is something that started out, really, in the 18th and 19th centuries from an industrial capitalist imperative to “produce” as much as possible from the resources available. Out of the American baby boom generation which came of age in the corporate landscape of the 1970s and ‘80s came tw...
