In this episode, we dive into the big questions around work, life, and purpose. With layoffs happening in Sweden and AI changing the game, we reflect on what work means to us today—why we do it, how it's changing, and what role things like hobbies, money, and meaning play. We chat about trends like "lying flat" and early retirement, how different cultures see work, and even get into some Confucian ideas about self-cultivation and serving society.===================免费的全文内容（汉字，拼音，英语翻译）在这里: https://www.yaya.press/doc/451eb72a-7e29-400b-b11f-9ffaf18245eeFree transcript of the entire podcast with characters, pinyin and English translation: https://www.yaya.press/doc/451eb72a-7e29-400b-b11f-9ffaf18245eeDiscord Group: https://discord.gg/QfrS6aDw35Yaya (language learning app) Tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPVUfRzlOHk&t=2s==================气候异常 | qìhòuyìcháng | climate anomaly; climate abnormality起伏不定 | qǐfúbúdìng | unstable; fluctuating; unpredictable打喷嚏 | dǎpēntì | to sneeze抗过敏 | kàngguòmǐn | anti-allergy; anti-allergic处方 | chǔfāng | prescription非处方药 | fēichǔfāngyào | over-the-counter medicine; non-prescription drug抗生素 | kàngshēngsù | antibiotic贸易战 | màoyìzhàn | trade war关税 | guānshuì | tariff; customs duty裁员 | cáiyuán | lay off; reduce staff; downsizing躺平 | tǎngpíng | lie flat; take it easy; do nothing说白了 | shuōbáile | to put it bluntly; frankly speaking; in other words非常拼 | fēicháng pīn | very hardworking; very competitive网红 | wǎng hóng | internet celebrity; online influencer自媒体 | zì méitǐ | self-media; independent media; personal media模糊 | móhu | blurry; vague; unclear粉丝 | fěnsī | fans; followers广告植入 | guǎnggào zhírù | product placement; advertisement placement网红 | wǎng hóng | internet celebrity; online influencer挂钩 | guàgōu | hook; link; connect人类社会 | rénlèi shèhuì | human society验尸 | yànshī | autopsy; post-mortem examination话题扯远 | huàtí chěyuǎn | off-topic; digress供需的关系 | gōngxū de guānxi | supply and demand relationship虚荣心 | xūróngxīn | vanity; conceit攀比心 | pānbǐ xīn | competitive mentality; desire to compare oneself with others职业倦怠 | zhíyèjuàndài | occupational burnout; job burnout一网打尽 | yīwǎngdǎjìn | catch everything in one go; a clean sweep远古时代 | yuǎngǔshídài | ancient times; prehistoric era吃不饱饭 | chībùbǎo fàn | not have enough to eat; go hungry贵族阶级 | guìzú jiējí | aristocracy; nobility; noble class特权 | tèquán | privilege; prerogative; special right瑜伽 | yújiā | yoga冥想 | míngxiǎng | meditation耳濡目染 | ěrrúmùrǎn | influenced by what one constantly sees and hears; subtly influenced孔孟之道 | KǒngMèngzhīdào | Confucianism; the teachings of Confucius and Mencius修身齐家治国平天下 | xiūshēn qíjiāzhìguópíngtiānxià | Cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the state, bring peace to the world为人民服务 | wèi rénmín fúwù | serve the people成就感 | chéngjiùgǎn | sense of achievement; sense of accomplishment螺丝钉 | luósīdīng | screw; bolt流水线 | liúshuǐxiàn | assembly line岔开说一句 | chàkāi shuō yījù | by the way; incidentally洗脑 | xǐnǎo | brainwash做贡献 | zuò gòngxiàn | to contribute; to make a contribution政治宣传 | zhèngzhìxuānchuán | political propaganda本末倒置 | běnmòdàozhì | to put the cart before the horse; to reverse the primary and secondary tasks; to confuse priorities心理咨询 | xīnlǐzīxún | psychological counseling; psychotherapy人贵有自知之明 | rén guì yǒu zìzhīzhīmíng | It is valuable for people to have self-awareness; Self-awareness is a valuable trait标杆 | biāogān | benchmark; standard; model全球视野 | quánqiú shìyě | global perspective; global vision领导力 | lǐngdǎolì | leadership身心合一 | shēnxīn héyī | mind and body in harmony; unity of body and mind落脚点 | luòjiǎodiǎn | foothold; stopping place; focusPowered by Firstory Hosting
