What the Heck Do I Do with My Life?

<p> 'As the world grows in complexity, Ravi's guidance to be curious and </p><p> adaptable has never been more relevant.'</p><p> -Bill Gates</p><p> Our world will change more in this century than in all of human history, </p><p> driven by many factors including technology, climate change, demographics </p><p> and inequality. Such extreme change is throwing up unprecedented </p><p> opportunities and creating an 'adaptive challenge' for individuals, organizations </p><p> and societies. Those who can adapt to a fast-flowing, complex, volatile and </p><p> uncertain world will flourish. Those who cannot will suffer greatly.</p><p> There are clear signs everywhere that we need new ways to think about the </p><p> world and our place in it. Our old ideas about education, lifestyle, success </p><p> and happiness no longer work. How is work changing? How can you know </p><p> what skills will be useful when jobs of the future are still being invented? </p><p> Will 'jobs' even exist or are we moving to a world of projects and gig work? </p><p> How do you make sense of all this and more?</p><p> In What the Heck Do I Do With My Life? Ravi Venkatesan makes the case </p><p> that successful adaptation in the new century requires a 'paradigm shift', a </p><p> different mindset, new skills and new strategies. Ravi also reflects on how </p><p> we will need to live life more intentionally, making deliberate choices about </p><p> who we are, what we do and how we live rather than simply being carried </p><p> along like a piece of driftwood.</p>
