The book's title refers to an expanding global trend that sees more and more (younger) people ditching the traditional, safer career option of putting in work hours in exchange for a fixed monthly paycheck. The converging effects of omnipresent Internet connectivity, powerful mobile devices, and widespread usage of social media have allowed them to explore various ways of blending together side gigs, passion projects, hobbies, travel adventures, creative collaborations, and self-expression like never before. The author herself is a typical example; she is a columnist, CrossFit trainer, jazz dance instructor, entrepreneur, and social media influencer. Wearing multiple hats, she argues, has enabled her to experiment with many different types of opportunities that have enriched her life experiences. While the first half of the book largely adheres to its central theme, the second half jumps (almost randomly) around many separate issues, including the essence of capitalism, reflection on the entrepreneurship frenzy, building passive income streams, the myth of the "10,000 hour rule" to mastery, the value of pivoting, the nature of altruism, deliberate practice, willpower, knowledge structure, etc., none of which is discussed in enough detail. Apparently, the author is a well-read, knowledgeable person, but the way she dumps everything she thinks is important onto the pages certainly detracts from the strength of her argument. Another drawback is that she focuses entirely on the advantages of joining such a trend, and some extra explanations on the numerous challenges and difficulties one should be prepared for would have made the book more useful and objective.
multi task/ability is necessary in this world. I agree. The whole book is good for people who already had health attitude of working and strong knowledge and independent thinking to accept challenge. I won't recommend this book for young people
