Wir erleben eine doppelte Zeitenwende. Erstens eine reale Wende. Infolge der geostrategischen Verwerfungen driftet der Boden weg, auf dem wir jahrzehntelang Karrieren gebaut haben.

Warum arbeiten wir uns eigentlich zu Tode? Haben wir nichts Besseres zu tun? Und ob! - sagt Timothy Ferriss. Der junge Unternehmer war selbst lange Workaholic mit einer 80-Stunden-Woche. Doch dann erfand er MBA - Management by Absence - und ist seitdem freier und glücklicher.
