It’s easy to fall into the mistaken belief that the way we work today is the way it has sort of always been.
In reality, what we know as work today has only been practiced for the last 200 years or so; a mere drop in the ol’ history bucket, if you will.

My guest today on the podcast is Bruce Daisley, most recently Vice President of Twitter’s European division.
His new book is called Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat: 30 Hacks for Bringing Joy to Your Job.
In it, he draws on both his experience at companies like Twitter, Google, and YouTube and his relationship with experts in psychology, economics, and behavioral science to offer 30 research-based hacks for bringing joy into our burned-out, unproductive work culture.
How, for example, does a lunch break create more productivity? Is it true that you can improve team performance simply by moving the coffee maker? How can walking meetings be a better alternative to the usual conference room?
