The counter, apparently, is to not get settled in or excel in the place you work. People who move around in their jobs a lot seemingly recover their edge.
I, frankly, find myself looking for more new stuff to do and experience as I approach my mid-30s, so I'm not necessarily convinced by this guy's conclusions.

This describes me. I don't own an ipod and haven't bought a CD in over ten years. When I jog, I listen to the same tapes I made in the early 90s. When I'm in the car for short rides, I listen to the radio. For longer rides, I listen to what the kids are watching on DVD.
