日本では会社で働かない「ニート」が社会問題になる一方で、組織の問題で自殺する人も増えている。勝ち組、ゴージャスを良いとする風潮もある。これらの前提には未だに「一流大学を卒業して一流企業に入ることが良い」とする思想がありありと残っている。個性や多様化が叫ばれながら、画一的な成功モデルが未だに存在する。おかしいだろう。矛盾が多いのに、その前提を疑うことがないのもおかしい。
この本では、会社に属さず自立して仕事をこなす人間像が描写される。組織に属し、組織への忠誠に基礎を置く縦ではなく、横へと張り巡らされた個人的ネットワークで仕事をする。その絆の根本にあるのは、「信頼」。信頼を基礎に、個人が単位としてつながりを形成する。個人は自由と自分らしさを保ちながら、仕事に責任を持つ。そして成功は、各人で定義する。だから、画一的な成功モデルは意味が無い。教育を受ける必要さえ、個人で決めたら良い。今でもフリーランサーとして生きる人もいるが、より多くの人が同様の形態で仕事をする社会を描いている。アメリカでは既に、組織に属さずに仕事をする人が増えているらしい。
もう人が決めた価値観で生きるのは止めよう。自立し、自分で決めた考えに沿って生きるのだ。勝ち組と呼ばれ、贅沢に暮らせば満足なのか?僕はそう思わなくなった。自分で決めて生きないと、死ぬときに後悔する。そんな人々にとっての、仕事を中心とした生き方のガイドである。参考になる。
2001年に書かれた本であるが、日本ではマスコミの論調は未だに20世紀を引きずっている。生まれてからずっとそんな考えに浸かってきた世代にとっては、生き難くても、それ以外の方法に気付けないのかもしれない。だったら、この本が、新たな社会との関係を気付かせてくれる契機になる。もっと読まれ良い本だ。

英語版
Daniel H. Pink
(著)
Widely acclaimed for its engaging style and provocative perspective, this book has helped thousands transform their working lives. Now including a 30-page resource guide that explains the basics of working for oneself.
It's about fulfillment. A revolution is sweeping America. On its front lines are people fed up with unfulfilling jobs, dysfunctional workplaces, and dead-end careers. Meet today's new economic icon: the free agent-men and women who are working for themselves. And meet your future.
It's about freedom. Free agents are the marketing consultant down the street, the home-based "mompreneur," the footloose technology contractor. Already 30 million strong, these 21st-century pioneers are creating lives with more meaning-and often more money. Free Agent Nation is your ticket to this world.
It's about time. Now, you can discover:
The kind of free agent you can be-"soloist," "temp," or "microbusiness"-and how to launch your new career.
How to get the perks you once received from your boss: health insurance, office space, training, workplace togetherness, even water cooler gossip.
Why the free agent economy is increasingly a woman's world-and how women are flourishing in it.
The transformation of retirement-how older workers are creating successful new businesses (and whole new lives) through the Internet.

Author Daniel H. Pink has done it yet again with his book Free Agent Nation
2023年2月18日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book is most certainly a must read for anyone looking to improve their position in life and taking charge of their career path. Written in an upbeat and positive tempo, Pink maps out a number of different routes which are available to those willing to go beyond their comfort zone. I predict the advice set out and proffered in Free Agent Nation by Daniel H.Pink will be just as relevant 100 years from now as it is today, and is sure to be a Classic

Planning on becoming self employed? Get this book
2016年1月19日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
For the growing number of people who are self-employed or thinking of becoming a freelance this book is a 'must read.'
Although it's set in the US, the same things applies to us in the UK.

SOCIAL COMMENTARY DISGUISED AS A HOW-TO GUIDE
2007年4月25日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Free Agent Nation by Daniel H. Pink is not entirely what it seems.
Daniel Pink is a former speech writer for Al Gore. He wrote for him when Al Gore was serving as Vice President, but not during the campaign for president.
When Mr Pink left the White House and became, as it were, a Free Agent, he was surprised at the number of people who earned income from running their own small business. It became apparent to him that if the Republican Party was the party of big business and the Democratic Party was the party of labor unions, then the growing demographic of the self employed had no real representation.
Therefore, Mr Pink explored who these people were, what they were doing, and what they needed. Of course, Mr. Pink is no economist or statistician. Therefore, his analysis seems a bit heavy on the anecdotal. Likewise, this is not a how to book that will tell you step by step what needs to be done to start up your own business.
Regardless, this is an interesting book that explores a growing social phenomenon of the post-industrial world.

It was a good read, but very outdated
2018年3月13日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I read this book for an assignment. It was a good read, but very outdated. Everything in here is common knowledge these days. It would be a good read for someone who is older and perhaps out of touch with modern business. But I'm sure it would have been groundbreaking about 10-15 years ago!
