Work Sucks, But I Like It

E5: Into the Wild and Into Ourselves: Finding Meaningful Work Through Chris McCandless’ Story

Tony Tenaglier

In this episode of Work Sucks, But I Like It, host Tony Tenaglier explores the life of Chris McCandless — the man behind Into the Wild — and asks: Was he chasing meaningful work, or running from it? Through 6 key takeaways, we connect his journey to ideas from Thoreau and Viktor Frankl to uncover what his story can teach us about purpose, burnout, and the search for meaning in our own work lives.
