Success Tools

In today's competitive, globalized knowledge-based economy with an ever increasing population of well-connected humans, robots, and artificial intelligence it can seem daunting to just keep ourselves up-to-date enough to not become obsolete, let alone become an above average high performer. Yet, that is precisely what you will get out of this book: a set of powerful mental tools and essential knowledge to upgrade yourself into a high performer. Clear examples of how each tool can be used are provided, as well as examples of how to utilize several mental tools in common situations that knowledge workers encounter on a regular basis.

Why Learn These Concepts?

By learning the concepts in this book and applying them regularly you can retain an edge compared to the competition. You may ask what are we competing with. The answer is twofold: other people from an increasing population that is getting ever more educated and provided with increasingly easier access to knowledge; and ever advancing technology in the form of automation and artificial intelligence that will replace many tasks currently performed by humans.
In the rush to learn and try to keep up with advances in technology, it can be easy to forget that what makes us invaluable are the things that set us apart from AI. The ability to learn and form connections between seemingly unlike concepts. The creativity to create something new. To effectively interact with and understand other human beings. The ability to adapt in both the short-term and the long-term to changing circumstances. And with these inherent abilities, we are able to continuously improve upon these abilities to achieve ever greater feats.
