Simone Stolzoff and Wendy MacNaughton
This week, we talk to the authors of two new books \u2013 one about our relationship to work, and another one about hospice and art. In the first half of this program, we talk to Simone Stolzoff. He\u2019s the author of a new book, \u201cThe Good Enough Job: Reclaiming life from Work\u201d. It takes a critical look at the way work has become so central to our identities - oftentimes at the expense of family, community and health.
\n\nFor artist Wendy MacNaughton, drawing is a vehicle for connection. Her subjects are often people and places typically over-looked. That\u2019s certainly the case with her new book, \u201cHow to Say Goodbye.\u201d It\u2019s a collection of portraits she drew during her time as artist in residence at a hospice center in San Francisco.\xa0 MacNaughton was joined in this interview by her colleague Ladybird Morgan - a nurse, social worker, and palliative care consultant.
\n\nBoth interviews were conducted in the studios of KQED in San Francisco on August 14, 2023, by neuroscientist, musician, and podcaster Indre Viskontas.
