NEW YORK (AP) — With the pandemic’s Great Resignation has come a Great Reinvention as more people of all ages have given up on jobs as they ponder the work-life balance that lends meaning to their lives.

Happiness researcher Arthur C. Brooks takes up the quest in his latest book, “Strength to Strength.”

Some who have made it through to the other side urge the uninitiated to make sure their pivot is a meaningful one.
