    Thanks for this. I love Alan Watts too and was unfamiliar with this video. I always liked his line:

    IF YOU MAKE WHERE YOU ARE GOING MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHERE YOU ARE THERE MAY BE NO POINT IN GOING.

    I will also embed these videos on the 1930 member Employee Engagement Network as he is talking quite a bit about engagement here too.

    Alan Watts is brilliant. We have all heard that if you work at something you love, you will never work a day in your life.

    That is so true!!

    Thank you,

    Mike
