'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.
