Taking Care with Meredith Goldstein

FEATURING DAVID BLUSTEIN

This episode of Taking Care is a Q&A with Boston College’s David Blustein, who studies work and psychology – as in, what unemployment means to people, and how our jobs contribute to our mental health. He wrote a book called “The Importance of Work in an Age of Uncertainty," which came out in 2019 – before this pandemic. Blustein talks to Love Letters columnist Meredith Goldstein about how we can take care of ourselves if we’re working, out of work, deemed essential (and in harm’s way), or considering a career change now that the world and our priorities have shifted. Get David's book here.
