In the midst of such widespread uncertainty, we may, in fact, be insecure. 在这种变幻无常之中，我们可能会没有安全感。 But we can let that insecurity make us brittle or supple. 但是我们能让这种不安全感使我们变得脆弱敏感或是能屈能伸。 We can turn inward, lose faith in the power of institutions to change — even lose faith in ourselves. 我们可以选择封闭自我...
Now, this means the nine-to-five no longer works for anyone. 如今，这意味着朝九晚五的工作不再适合所有人。 Punch clocks are becoming obsolete, as are career ladders. 打卡和事业的阶梯已经过时了。 Whole industries are being born and dying every day.

Is “better off” finding a secure job that you can count on for the rest of your life? Those are nearly extinct. 是找到了一个稳定的工作，一辈子都不用愁，就意味着“生活安逸”吗？这种情况几乎不存在。 People move jobs, on average, every 4.7 years, and it’s estimated that by 2020, nearly half of Americans will be freelancers. 人们平均4.7年就换一个工作，...
The “new better off,” as I’ve come to call it, 我所说的“新型安逸生活” is less about investing in the perfect family and more about investing in the imperfect village, 不是关于维持完美的家庭，而是关于维持不那么完美的村落， whether that’s relatives living under one roof, a cohousing community like mine, 不论是所有亲戚住在同一屋檐下，就像...
