Featured Episode
Work as Polis
Reclaiming the Communal Soul of Eudaimonia with Andrew Soren
Over the past two years, we have spoken with more than 50 researchers, practitioners, and leaders about what makes work meaningful. But in this special episode, host Andrew Soren flips the script. Instead of interviewing a guest, he shares ideas from a text he’s co-writing with his mentor, Dr. Carol Ryff. Their theme? “Work as Polis”—a vision for workplaces as moral communities devoted not just to profit, but to human flourishing.
