Such extreme change is throwing up unprecedented \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e opportunities and creating an 'adaptive challenge' for individuals, organizations \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e and societies. Those who can adapt to a fast-flowing, complex, volatile and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e uncertain world will flourish. Those who cannot will suffer greatly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e There are clear signs everywhere that we need new ways to think about the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e world and our place in it. Our old ideas about education, lifestyle, success \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e and happiness no longer work. How is work changing? How can you know \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e what skills will be useful when jobs of the future are still being invented? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Will 'jobs' even exist or are we moving to a world of projects and gig work? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e How do you make sense of all this and more?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In What the Heck Do I Do With My Life? Ravi Venkatesan makes the case \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e that successful adaptation in the new century requires a 'paradigm shift', a \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e different mindset, new skills and new strategies. Ravi also reflects on how \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e we will need to live life more intentionally, making deliberate choices about \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e who we are, what we do and how we live rather than simply being carried \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e along like a piece of driftwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ravi Venkatesan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9355202903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789355202901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.48d","brand":"Ravi Venkatesan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052313047295,"sku":"9789355202901","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8682ea6-4ce3-4352-8562-3be30cb22101.jpg?v=1685018111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-the-heck-do-i-ravi-venkatesan-9789355202901","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
