If flexibility is the primary virtue as you pursue your callings, then a philosophy of the polycentric life — the idea that you can be more than one thing — is a close second. This important lesson I learned in my early association with the psychologist James Hillman, who turns many common assumptions upside down to reveal the straitjackets we have willingly put on for years. In his view, a monocentric view in anything is bound to create rigidity and moralism.
