I quit a job with nothing lined up, but it was due to a liquidity event for a former startup. Not enough to permanently stop working, but also not quite as counter-culture as this describes.

In retrospect, the experience was primarily about changing my relationship to work. I can still feel the mindset shift. Being able to test my internal narrative about the urgency and primacy of work (by forcefully deprioritizing it) gave me a stronger sense of agency and a wider view on what I might do each day.

I hope that the people referenced in the article have the economic leniency or support systems to experience something similar.
