Human brain is still primitive, nearly the same with that of a hunter-gatherer. Technology has progressed in an unthinkable pace. Society, economics have changed to keep up. Human brain did not have the time to evolve to the changed scenario. Human brain is fantastic but it never evolved for what most of us in HN do- knowledge work. Agriculture, and even industry after the first revolution did not demand human beings to be changed by much. That is not true with knowledge work. You need effective, designed methods to learn, store knowledge, apply them to different scenarios, be focused for longer hours, and so on. At the same time you want to be happy. You need to find balance. Society changed very rapidly. It does not give you learned frameworks for the new scenario. You need to actively, vigilantly, deliberately learn how to manage yourself, your knowledge, your relationships, your business. Most HNers have their basics solved, and they want to grow further into the area for which evolution or even society has not prepared us. It makes me happy to see that people realize this one way or the other- and try to solve this problem. We acknowledge that a gap exists, we only try to fill that by any amount we can. I applaud those who do this.
