A Whole New Mind

I just finished a book by economist Daniel Pink called A Whole New Mind. It was all about the next evolution in American jobs and I thought it was a very interesting book.

One theme that kept coming up again and again was the idea that, in this age of abundance, where people have what they need to survive, they start looking for reasons to survive. They start looking for meaning effectively making meaning the new money.

I'm not sure I totally agree with everything Daniel Pink has to say, but I know giving up some of wage earning potential to be a stay-at-home dad has been a meaningful experience for me.
