What does it mean to be lazy? Is the term 'laziness' just a negative slant on 'relaxation', or does laziness accurately reflect a lack of motivation? And is laziness a 'bad' thing, or could it actually be viewed as a positive attribute? Todd McIlroy, author of 'The Science of Laziness: Achieving More by Doing less', joins the podcast.

264. Gen Z Explained

As a millennial myself, I know many in my generation struggle to fully understand the ethos, so to speak, of Gen Z. In many ways, it seems they’ve taken work-life balance to a whole new level. Yet while lifestyle is prioritized, it can seem as if financial expectations are still lofty. Many domains of society have become more liberal, and the idea of ‘woke-ism’, which probably has a negative connotation to many, is perhaps embraced by Gen Z. So what actually guides Gen Z? What are the philosophies, ethics, and beliefs that shape their lives? Stanford's Roberta Katz, co-author of 'Gen Z, Explained: The Art of Living in a Digital Age', joins the podcast.
