About this listen

This Working Life is the audiobook you need to navigate your career with courage, openness and a good dose of laughter in these chaotic and uncertain times. Springing off the success of her ABC podcast, Lisa Leong, together with journalist Monique Ross, is bringing a deep curiosity to the world of work.

You spend most of your waking life working - a jaw-dropping 90,000 hours for the average person. You deserve to feel joy during that time. But how?

This Working Life empowers you to experiment in the lab of life. You’ll reflect on your highs and lows, harness your superpowers and pinpoint your guiding values. You’ll learn the importance of empathy as you craft a job or curate a portfolio career that can grow with you. You’ll unlock the power of rituals, community and self-care and build resilience that will help you face life’s inevitable curveballs.

Lisa and Monique get personal, sharing hard-won learnings from their own lives. This Working Life also features insights from world-leading thinkers like Dorie Clark, Jeremy Utley and Dan Klein and practical activities to help you take action.

No matter where you are, or where you want to be, This Working Life will help you get there.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The most thought provoking and comprehensive personal growth book that I have come across. Complete with notes, reflection time, reflection exercises, recommended resources and a soundtrack!! (all downloadable). Lisa's playful enthusiasm shines through in her narration and Monique gently encourages us towards nature with beautiful analogies drawn from the natural world 💕💕💕

I loved, loved, LOVED this book! Although I’ve read a bunch of books in the past about work life balance, this one is so incredibly unique and relevant to the languishing uncertainty in the wake of the pandemic. The mix of practical “lab” exercises, gentle and reflective sit spots, and the wealth of new perspectives have given me so much to think about and apply to my own working life. Plus, the audio version was so easy to listen to – Lisa’s bright, sustained energy and Mon’s gentle, audio-lava-lamp meditations perfectly balanced each chapter with different approaches to the same topics. Loved this book and will definitely come back to it again and again when I need a bit of expert guidance on work, and life.
