Recommendation

Have you ever found yourself getting restless or feeling anxious on a Sunday afternoon? If so, you, like millions of others around the world, suffer from the “Monday disease” – that is, a loss of meaning and purpose in the workplace. To cure this affliction, entrepreneur Tirthankar Dash endorses a string of cognitive storytelling exercises that can help you identify your purpose. If you want to wake up after the weekend thinking “Thank God it’s Monday,” getAbstract recommends Dash’s breezy motivational tips to you.

Take-Aways

  • Those who dread going to work on Monday mornings do so because their work lives lack meaning and purpose.
  • Businesses are both the root cause and the greatest victims of the “Monday disease.” One study estimates that employee disengagement costs the US economy alone $350 billion in lost productivity annually.
  • Organizations should embrace the power of storytelling to motivate employees and help them define their ikigai, or raison d’être.
