Monday Must-Reads Are you part of the new driveby culture The Psychology of Making Huge Career Jumps. Its all about psychology folks. Read this great example. Also, if you arent already subscribing to Ramit Sethis blog, I highly recommend you do. Its awesome for young professionals trying to get their financial life together.

We can Google the answer to anything, so we dont bother learning.

Why? Because we are so used to being inundated with instant messages, tweets, new emails, and Facebook updates. If we dont get any, it feels weird. If we arent constantly being entertained, we are bored. We dont know how to just be with ourselves anymore (I cant even get through an elevator ride without my iPhone). This article lists 8 places most of us have tried finding happiness, but havent. Do you think that technology has changed the way people get happy? Do you think technology has changed our need for instant happiness highs?
