In her TED Talk, Simone Stolzoff confronts the common belief that our job defines our self-worth. She highlights the dangers of over-identifying with work, noting that 48% of workers worldwide face burnout due to this mindset. To combat this, Stolzoff suggests we diversify our sense of meaning and identity by creating "time sanctuaries" for activities outside of our jobs, pursuing hobbies that reflect other parts of ourselves, and connecting with communities where our profession isn't the main focus. Ultimately, she encourages us to embrace a more well-rounded view of ourselves, reminding us that our true value goes far beyond our careers.
