Dhammarato and Joni talk about Right Livelihood as a part of the method for freedom. They discuss how it is in your power to make a job noble by changing your own attitude. Dhammarato states that a more wholesome job is to make friends with everyone within your work environment, including janitors and clerks. In the end, Joni dials in on a concept of Mudita, or Sympathetic Joy, which is an antidote to jealousy as well as a way to "make the medicine go down".
