Stop treating your work and your life as separate.

Work shouldn't be a burden that takes place outside of your “real life.” It should, and can, be a source of happiness and authentic meaning―if you work from the inside out. In The Full Body Yes, LinkedIn’s Head of Mindfulness and Compassion Programs Scott Shute shows how the evolution within companies lies in the evolution of ourselves. After all, a company is the sum of its people: we decide where, how, and why we work.

Through a four-step action plan, Shute demonstrates how the journey to a working life of happiness and authentic meaning is fueled by compassion. Through guided activities to cultivate compassion for yourself and others, you’ll move toward a work lifestyle that allows you to:

● discover what is important to you, so that you can spend more time doing just that
● recognize and empower the deeper part of yourself
● measure your success by your own happiness
● allow yourself to develop and evolve at work
● love and serve all of life (including yourself)

Everyone deserves to do work that makes them happy, and to find happiness at work. With compassion, we can all get there.

We’re each searching for it in our own way.

Through our hobbies, through our relationships, we’re searching for something. It’s in our language. When someone expresses it, we say “she really lit up,” as if our True Self is a bright ball of light surrounded by the other parts of us that help us get around – the physical body, our emotions, our mind. When we’re “lit up”, our True Self is being seen, glowing strong enough to penetrate the outer shells. These shells - the body, emotions, minds, are critical. They help our True Self express itself. They make up our personality. They can also get in the way. They can take over our awareness, like a rowdy conversation at the family dinner table, sometimes our True Self never gets a word in. Just has to sit there and wait for things to calm down. Sometimes has to wait through entire careers, entire marriages, or even an entire lifetime before speaking with authority. Mostly, it’s there every day, speaking softly and subtly if we listen carefully, like when we’re in the shower or on a walk in the woods and get that special insight we’ve been looking for.

When we’re fully present, our True Self gets to play. I think this is why we love our hobbies so much. When I’m mountain biking, screaming down some sweet single-track in the Santa Cruz Mountains, trying to find the perfect line, you know what I’m not thinking about? I’m not thinking about work. I’m not thinking about getting bullied when I was fifteen. I’m not thinking about the big project I have due in a few weeks or the bills I need to pay.

I’m fully present.
