About this episode
Marcus Buckingham discusses how love and joy in work contribute to success.
Everyone says if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. But is that actually true? Marcus Buckingham has spent 30 years crunching the numbers on human performance, and he's got a very specific, and maybe surprising, answer to just how much of your day needs to spark joy before you stop wanting to quit. You can learn more about his research in his new book Design Love In. At the end of the episode Dan has his own surprise brush with love. Learn more about your ad choices.
