You cannot not bring that quality back to work, where being wiser, deeper, and more rounded can only make you better at relationships, and just about everything you do. Look, I'm not suggesting you start volunteering in order to get ahead at work. That's just soulless and mercenary — in a word, yuck. You should volunteer for a cause you love because the world will be a better place if you help someone — anyone, or any creature — who needs help.

An expert on ethics and former Federal Election Commission general counsel said Price's submission to OGE would not have been scrutinized for past actions. "The Office of Government ethics reviews his current situation for potential conflicts of interest and negotiates an agreement with how he should handle (divestment) in the future," Larry Noble, general counsel at the Campaign Legal Center, said about Price's testimony.

It’s Time To Bring Back The Office Cubicle

The end result is the loss of privacy and productivity for employees. In her book Quiet , Susan Cain recognizes how open office plans are part of a “New Groupthink,” in which collaboration and teamwork must be fostered to a fault. She quotes a marketing agency director who says, “Employees are putting their whole lives up on Facebook and Twitter…There’s no reason they should behind a cubicle wall.” But when the time calls for thinking deeply, you probably need walls to block out the distractions.
