The question "what do you do?" is a complicated one, as our answers increasingly reflect our principles, ambitions, and our relationship with society. Especially in the Bay Area, more companies and workers are choosing to turn work into a lifestyle, and our constant connectivity blurs the distinction between our personal and professional lives. If handled well, this can empower us as individuals and stimulate our creativity and citizenship; if not it can stifle us and harm our communities. Featured guests, who will share their perspectives on these trends, include: Chris Carlsson, long-time SF activist and author. www.chriscarlsson.com Brian Bugh, systems engineer and techno-philosopher. http://brianbugh.me/ Kendra Shanley, co-founder of Bay Bucks and advocate for a New Economy. www.baybucks.com ...and YOU! Participation from all in attendance is welcome and encouraged. This event is partially inspired by a recent article in the SF Bay Guardian, which explores the idea that working less may be one reasonable solution to climate change. We will investigate this idea while extending well beyond it. http://en-us.www.sfbg.com/2014/04/15/save-world-work-less
