It is also largely a reality of the new nature of work, which has everyone looking more like a freelancer than a lifer.

We are not tied to one job or employer; we are the masters of our own destiny. But as Harvard’s Barry Schwartz observed, “On the other side of liberation sits chaos and paralysis.””
