There is a strong correlation between the "new economy" and expectations of relentless, theatrical performance of positivity (which is not the same as actually being a positive thinker). The mask you're expected to put on in any role in the new economy is about as realistic as Barbie's proportions. The result is a pervasive condition of what I call Promethean depression. It's a recipe for burning out rather than breaking smart. What can you do about it?
