WHAT THE HECK DO I DO WITH MY LIFE

‘As the world grows in complexity, Ravi’s guidance to be curious andadaptable has never been more relevant.’—Bill GatesOur world will change more in this century than in all of human history,driven by many factors including technology, climate change, demographicsand inequality. Such extreme change is throwing up unprecedentedopportunities and creating an ‘adaptive challenge’ for individuals, organizationsand societies. Those who can adapt to a fast-flowing, complex, volatile anduncertain world will flourish. Those who cannot will suffer greatly.There are clear signs everywhere that we need new ways to think about theworld and our place in it. Our old ideas about education, lifestyle, successand happiness no longer work. How is work changing? How can you knowwhat 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 casethat successful adaptation in the new century requires a ‘paradigm shift’, adifferent mindset, new skills and new strategies. Ravi also reflects on howwe will need to live life more intentionally, making deliberate choices aboutwho we are, what we do and how we live rather than simply being carriedalong like a piece of driftwood.
