Finding motivation, passion and energy in our work | Deirdre O'Shea | TEDxUniversityofLimerick

Описание: Work takes up an enormous chunk of our lives and there is a lot of talk about how stressful work is, but what about the ways in which work inspires, motivates and energises us? In this TEDx talk, Deirdre O'Shea speaks up in defence of work, discussing its motivational power and the importance of work for our identity, passion, energy and sense of meaning in our lives.
