99U Local: Nashville Talk by Anthony Ware: A Happy Path to Destroying the Work/Life Balance Myth Synopsis: Buying into the myth of work/life balance can lead to a dark place...like sleeping in your car due to choosing the wrong business partners. You don’t say, “I have a bathroom/life or walk-my-dog/life balance”. By developing self-awareness practice, working through your inner conflicts, and defining and identifying your happiness, you can live a kick-ass life, create the business/career you love including the business of you. It’s time to throw the rules and the way things are suppose to be done, out the window...time to focus on being human.
