Life in the Balance

 

Professor of Psychology and Director of CSUSB’s Institute of Child Development and Family Relations, Dr. Mark Agars, hosts a regular podcast on Coyote Radio called Life in the Balance, which features discussions, conversations, and interviews around the work-life interface, offering listeners empathy, understanding and informed solutions for the struggles they face in their own lives. 

The messages from “Life in The Balance” support listeners in their very common familial and professional struggles, and stresses that even though life places unrealistic demands on us from all directions, each of us has the power to find, develop and choose paths that serve our personal, professional and familial well-being. Dr. Agars has also been a Keynote or invited speaker a t numerous professional events focused on health, wellbeing, and thriving in the workplace.

 

In his own words, Dr. Agars shares,

 

“As an organizational psychologist who has studied people and the workplace for over 30 years, I have come to recognize that our current model for work, which fundamentally values work, productivity, and being busy, above personal and family health and well-being, represents one the greatest health crises of our time. My goal with Life in the Balance is to provide organizations, leaders, and employees with solutions that support professional success in the context of personal and familial health and well-being. To make clear that success is not defined solely as productivity, promotions, and wealth, but by professional success in balance with healthy fulfilling lives, and healthy relationships with partners and children. This is Life in the Balance. Let’s get there together.”
