37、全球化的加速发展，以及随之而来人们对薪酬、工作条件话语权的丧失，是造成这 一切的罪魁祸首。 在社会经济底层的人们对这种痛苦感受最为切身要保住两三份工作， 尽力 付清账单，周末照常上班，没有休假时间，缺乏社会保障，导致他们常对自身命运生出无力 掌控的感觉。但是，即使是成功的专业人士,那些似乎完全掌握自己命运的人，也会为其所苦. 以医生为例，按照各级健康维护组织的规定，他们的工作强度高到无法想象，个个身心俱疲。 很多医生现在都在寻求工会的帮助，而在传统上工会是低收入职工的靠山.5.新技术的冲击，原本有望让我们解脱，却反而一步步加快了日常生活的节奏。手机、电 邮、笔记本电脑，都让我们期待别人能作岀即
