About this listen
This book is for every person 18 years old or older who wants to: have meaningful work and live a happy life in the Smart Technology Age; be successful and respected as a unique human being; and not be left behind or overwhelmed by the pace of technological change.
The Smart Technology Age will be an age of constant change that will require you to continually adapt and learn new skills to have good jobs. The best research from Oxford University predicts that between 25-47% of the U.S. workforce will be automated by the end of this decade.
That means you must learn how to be an "Adaptive Learner” excelling at learning - unlearning and relearning at the speed of change. That requires you to “Own Your Work Journey” and to "Take Ownership of You" by striving every day to become your Best Self by taking ownership of your Ego, Mind, Body, Emotions, Words, and Behaviors. This book will teach you how to have a Quiet Ego, Quiet Mind, Quiet Body, and how to Manage Your Emotions, Words & Behaviors and how to build caring, trusting relationships with others.
The goal will be to optimize your thinking, listening and collaborating with others in ways that will differentiate you from smart technology and robots.
"Own Your Work Journey" will give you the Tools and Practices that will help you do that.
