Personal Interests & Charitable Work
Interests outside the law include Steven’s farm, sports and exotic cars, reading and writing novels, and trading and investing. But he strives to integrate work and life in the manner recently articulated by Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos. Bezos suggests that “work-life balance” is a “debilitating phrase” and that instead we should strive for “work-life harmony.” More on work-life harmony can be found in this article from CNN
