Finding the work

(…) life is also about finding my responsibilities and finding the work. As it says in the Bhagavad Gita, ‘happy is the person who finds their work’. And we have monetised work, we’ve turned it into just a financial operation. Very, very much in our materialistic society, work is just about money or success or recognition. But it’s actually most importantly, work is something that allows us to bring out the best in us and sees that it will be a benefit to others. That’s my definition of good work in the book I published recently, Good Work. What brings out the best part of us and in doing so contributes some benefit to others, that’s what I mean by duty and good work.
