My TED Talk is live!

If you were given 8 minutes, what would you share with the world?

Hi friends,

Happy New Year! I wanted to take a break from standard Article Book Club fare to share that my TED Talk is live!

The talk is about all the ways we benefit—both as individuals and as a society—when we invest in aspects of our lives other than work. In many ways, it is the culmination of the years of reporting, research, and writing that went into The Good Enough Job.

I’m so excited for you to watch it. Let me know what you think, and we’ll be back to the normal ABC programming next week.

Here’s the talk: How to reclaim your life from work

Warmly,
Simo 

P.S. The song of the week is some R&B from Doechii, who is well-positioned to be the artist of 2025. The full songs of the week playlist is here.
