So much of our identity is tied to what we do for a living. But what happens when that work disappears, or when you're stuck in a soul-crushing job? A psychologist breaks down the crucial difference between your JOB and your true VOCATION.

This video explores why our identity is naturally tied to our work, it takes up nearly half of our conscious waking hours! We dive into the psychology of work, defining it not just as paid labor, but as any productive, problem-solving activity that creates a positive outcome. Discover how to find your purpose even if your 9-to-5 is just for the money and learn from an inspiring story of a company that reinvented itself when its industry collapsed.
