What The Heck Do I Do With My Life? How To Flourish In Our Turbulent Times

Ravi Venkatesan . Rupa Publications India . English

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