Each of us must sustain three marriages in our lives: The marriage with our work and society, the marriage—official or not—with our partner, and the deeper marriage with our emergi ng selves. To choose between these relationships is to impoverish them all. Work-life balance means creating a real conversation, a live frontier between all three commitments that enriches each one, allowing it to be simultaneously troubled and emboldened by the others. Join David Whyte at his own frontier for a poetic and compelling investigation of these important commitments of a human life. Please note: This is a lecture given before a live audience in 2005, not a recording of David Whyte's 2009 book, The Three Marriages: Reimagining Work, Self & Other. Show more
