What is the nonlinear life?

What all of us are living.

The linear life—the idea that you’re going to have one job, one home, one relationship, one source of happiness from adolescence to assisted living—is deader than it’s ever been.

It’s been replaced by the nonlinear life. A life full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and what Bruce calls lifequakes and workquakes.

Here, Bruce chronicles all of these changes. He uses two decades of proprietary research and more than 400 life stories that he’s collected, coded, and analyzed, to offer tips and takeaways to make all of our lives more meaningful.
