On paper, it looks like Scott Larsen is doing better than his father was at the same age. At 29, Larsen has a college degree and earns more money, but he doesn't feel he's moving up in the world. When his father, Craig, was 29, he was already married, owned a home in Payson, Utah, and had two of his five children.

Imagine that work had taken over the world. It would be the centre around which the rest of life turned. Then all else would come to be subservient to work. Then slowly, almost imperceptibly, anything else – the games once played, the songs hitherto sung, the loves fulfilled, the festivals celebrated – would come to resemble, and ultimately become, work.

But even though it all feels totally normal to me and my team after four years, I have to recall that we are still very much in the minority of businesses.
