For those who might ask “What does that even mean?”, this is what I’m reading that triggered the question: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/transformative-experience/
Recent can mean the most recent you can remember, even if it was years ago. Interested in what y’all might say.


New job that’s WFH if you want.
I can now see my kid every day, stop wasting annual leave for a delivery or CBA days. I can keep on top of chores while working.
I don’t get paid any more but I’m spending less and more importantly I’m gaining back time and seeing my family.
It’s made me happier, more fulfilled and a better dad.
It is a nice change in a lot of cases - getting that commuting time back can be a game changer, particularly if you have kids.
Do agree with the other person about it being a double-edged sword (I’m definitely in the ‘it’s kind of isolating’ camp) - though at the same time it can serve as a push to creating more connections outside of work.
(Though some of us, myself included, don’t really respond to the push I guess).
Good answer! I’m glad this is working for you!
