Editor's Notes
- #15 ““Because we grew up surrounded by big dramatic story arcs in books and movies, we think our lives are supposed to be filled with huge ups and downs! So people pretend there is drama where there is none.”
- #16 ABRAHAM MANSLOW/BRANDEIS: Humanistic PsychologyHuman beings are motivated by unsatisfied needs, and lower needs need to be satisfied before higher needs can be addressed. While a person is motivated to fulfill these basal desires, they continue to move toward growth, and eventually self-actualization.
- #17 Should we be thinking in new ways? Profit vs. non profit business? (how about social businesses?)The $10 and $2 experiment about sharing money?Autonomy – Mastery – Purpose
- #18 career with ultra-stability and certainty has crashed. Now replaced with the “YoYo – Your’reOn Your Own” model.become a free agent, PICC (professional independent consultant/contractor) or entrepreneur, or if employed become the intrapreneur, but stay self-directed in your career.You may be working an extra 20 years since you will be healthier and live longer.
