Excellent Aaron. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed this one. You're one of the few philosophers I know that can translate the finer points of postmodern philosophy into something that isn't only accessible, but vitally important. It's why I gave my dad a copy of your new book; the first book I've read of yours that made me go, aha, he's done it; he's broken through the muck and jargon and distilled it down to what really matters for the rest of us. Thanks pal.
Good stuff! As a small business owner, I hope to model this sort of faithful living. It is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind as a means to an end, but it is certainly a charisma to live and share life with others in the context of work and not simply staying busy/anxious. Thanks for this!
This was a powerful one Aaron! Currently at an accounting firm in the throes of Tax Season where we have to work insane long hours where there is not much left in daily life but to eat, sleep, and work-business as busyness seems apt. How do we flourish in such an environment? I have coworkers who keep these insane work hours in non busy season times where they seem caught in the tropes of being busy for no real reason. As I'm looking to leaving in the future to a job in ministry that will more live into my flourishing I've thought about what you raise in this post and your book about thinking "if only I can get that dream job". And yet I still think that will more live into flourishing I still want to be aware of the achievement model pitfalls. Thanks for sharing Aaron!
