The Future of Work Begins with Us
summary
Thirty years of research and a million interviews boil down to a concrete claim: the disruptive law of one to one—every new tech uplifts some people while leaving an equal number stranded—so expect ~50% of jobs reshaped or lost in the next decades (Oxford, WEF). Cited specifics: ride‑share upheaval, taxi suicides ~1/month, Facebook employees priced into homelessness, HR survey with Ultimate Software showing ~75% feel overstretched. Practical actions: define your three‑word year, pick a legacy, move from FOMO to JOMO, and mentor for the four future skills; guard other people’s 1440 minutes.
