Great questions, but hard to answer. Is there even a single formula that applies to each and every company and worker? It seems to me it's challenging to strike a balance. Even to speak of workers who are well-compensated and whose jobs are the very jobs they dreamed of isn't a guarantee that there won't come a time when they experience burnout.

Or is it a natural human tendency to somehow get bored at some point doing the same thing over and over again, and tries to explore and discover new possibilities? Of course, I'm talking about free and empowered human beings, in contrast to many workers in China, for example, who seem to be mere automatons.
