personal brand image? oy vey Other than that I suppose I largely agree with the sentiment. I stopped voting in the Swedish elections partly because I don't see myself going back for a while and I don't think I should have much say if I don't intend to deal with the outcome.. I only maintain ties with my alma mater because they operate sports facilities and clubs that I enjoy, I certainly have no deep emotional connection to the institution itself. As long as we maintain human to human bonds I don't think losing an artificial sense of community (particularly when used to create a sense of indebtedness or fear of leaving) from a workplace, institution or lack of mobility is any great shame. Although it strikes me that when you essentially say that you cultivate a personal brand image, it may well be that you are simply replacing one artificial sense of community with another. My point of view would be that any "personal brand" that actually correlates with happiness would come naturally as a side effect of doing things you find fulfilling. Happiness is not a side-effect of some brand-building effort. But perhaps we have different metrics for success or indeed different ideas of happiness.
