Book Preview: #1 The idea that we should be able to find a job that we love is not only normal, but also easy to fulfill. But the reality is that we cannot find work that we both love and tolerate for the money.

#2 The modern world is built around the hope of how things that had previously seemed separate, such as money and creative fulfillment, can be united. However, this has been a catastrophe in practice, as we constantly fall short of our expectations.

#3 We tend to believe that instinct and luck can’t lead to good results in matters of relationships or careers, yet we take it for granted that children will need many hundreds of hours of instruction to become competent in math or foreign languages.

#4 The obstacles created by professional ignorance can be addressed by schools, universities, and technical colleges. We have become adept at addressing the problems created by a lack of skills.
