Spiritual and Career/Intellectual Well-Being

As Well-Being Week comes to a close, we ask you to ponder what do spiritual and career/intellectual well-being have in common? Spiritual Well-Being and Career and Intellectual Well-Being are dimensions of well-being, they put us in a zone of connection to ourselves, to the world, and give meaning to our lives. Enjoy some of the spirituality and career/intellectual well-being activities!

Watch these videos:

  1. Check out this 7 minute video of voices from legal communities talking about spiritual practices as part of their process of well-being.
  1. Flow: An Animated Book Summary. A short, entertaining video summarizing the best-selling book, which proposes that fostering more “flow” in our daily lives is a key to growth and happiness (flow = a state of complete absorption in engaging activities that are optimally challenging).
