I often get crazy looks when I show my enthusiasm to run 26.2 miles or when I decide to go back to graduate school in a field where I’ve never taken an actual course in. But what I’ve realized through my book The Impression of a Good Life: Philosophical Engineering, it’s about clarifying what I work towards in life that has broken down my conditioned thought that work was work and play was play. And when I got clear when athletes like Lebron James play “and” work hard at being an athlete, work became play and play became work.
