Hogging seats on a crowded train, not saying excuse me, watching videos on your phone with no headphones in. Sometimes it feels like we don't know how to act anymore. What we have been seeing, increasingly, is people breaking rules. Why should I play by the rules if nobody else is going to do that for me? This week on Explain It to Me, how to mind your manners.
New episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Prop G on Getting Your Life Together, a special series where we're joined by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, Stanford educators and best-selling authors of Designing Your Life and most recently, How to Live a Meaningful Life. Gentlemen, welcome and thanks for doing this. Yeah, thanks for having us. Thanks for having us.
We went to our listeners with one question. What's the biggest thing holding your life back right now? Today? We try to help. We talk about burnout, distraction, purpose, and building a life that feels more intentional.
