Zen and The Art of Liking Your Job

Materials | Venue: BMCC

Do you like your job? Would you still keep your job if you were not paid for it? What would you love to be doing if money were not an issue? Each of these questions is likely to have two different answers – one for your inner voice and one for your boss. Both are tough judges.

During a job interview we are expected to make a convincing impression that the position we are applying for is exactly what we need to make our lives complete. Many people can play this game very well. The most difficult questions, however, come from within: what is the right job for me and what should I do with my life?

In this workshop we’ll discuss how the ancient philosophy of Zen can help us find fulfillment in what we do for a living and use it as a step towards personal transformation and self-empowerment.
