The average person will spend about 90,000 hours at work, according to research by Gettysburg College. It's a staggering number to see in black and white, but it doesn't mean that work time must be miserable.

The TED original podcast, which debuted in 2018, gives voice to professionals around the world figuring out how to make "work not suck."
