Summary
Work-Life Balance (New Research Study)
Summary:
A study of 184 people across three countries/regions found that fulfilling one's values can lead to higher well-being, and that higher well-being can make it easier to fulfill one's values. This relationship was consistent regardless of the importance people attributed to their values, the period of the week, or their prestudy well-being.
Conclusion:
This research helps to explain the fundamental connection between values and well-being. It also has potential implications for clinical practice, suggesting that helping people to fulfill their values may be a way to improve their well-being.
In short:
Values and well-being are interconnected. Fulfilling your values can lead to higher well-being, and higher well-being can make it easier to fulfill your values.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. During our lives we get lessons. Events occur that can completely change |
| 0:17.1 | the course of our lives. I want to share two events that were pivotal in changing the course of my life. |
| 0:25.0 | I grew up in the Midwest and my father had a good job. |
| 0:30.0 | He worked for an insurance company, was a regional sales manager, and for Iowa's standards, he did pretty well. |
| 0:36.0 | Well, when I was starting high school, that completely changed, the job that he had worked on his entire life since graduated from college. |
| 0:45.0 | He lost and he had to find something else to do. |
| 0:48.0 | Well that took him about eight years to actually find something else to do. It isn't that he didn't work, he always worked, |
| 0:55.6 | but finding his passion, something that he was excited about, really took him about eight years. |
| 1:02.0 | So that made me want to get a good job, a job that was |
| 1:05.1 | secure, where the possibilities of me losing that job were minimal and that I knew |
| 1:10.8 | that whatever I did I probably could count on until I reached retirement. |
| 1:16.0 | At the time I was leaning towards being a university professor. |
| 1:19.0 | I knew that after a probationary period you could get tenured which means your job was pretty secure and losing it would be very unlikely. |
| 1:28.0 | Then one summer I worked at a very challenging job that was exhausting. It was about 80 hours a week, but I've always |
| 1:35.9 | been decent with money and I was able to save that money and then the next summer I was able to |
| 1:40.4 | go to Europe for three months on the money I had saved. |
| 1:44.3 | And then I learned my second lesson of life. |
| 1:46.8 | I realized that in Europe, not all but many people, worked a very different work lifestyle than we do here in the United States. |
| 1:55.0 | They would often start off with their careers with six weeks off a year. |
| 1:59.0 | We're in the United States, it's normal to get two weeks off a year when you start a job and they would often |
| 2:04.2 | not work a 40 hour work week and here in the United States I knew if I became a |
| 2:08.8 | professor I knew that a lot of professors if they did well well in their field, worked a 60 to sometimes 80 hour |
