I once tried to respond to people's answers about what they do with "Sure that's your income, but what do you do for living?" I thought it was clever for precisely about two weeks before people were like "Ugh, I hate that riff." Better to find new icebreakers than muss up the old ones.
"A better question would be,
how do you live? How do you
breathe life into your soul?" Best thing I read today! Oh that it were so.
Thanks for sharing so much of yourself and your experience, Yardena. These are important insights and challenges.
(Years and years ago I stopped asking "What do you do?" 🙂)
