Learning to Fly

The past two decades have brought a run of upheavals: economic crises, rising geopolitical tensions, the looming threat of climate change, and the Covid-19 pandemic with all its fallout. In 2020 and 2021 alone, digital technology advanced rapidly while millions of workers walked away from their jobs for a variety of reasons.

In such an unsettled climate, many people find it hard to map out a working life that supports themselves and their families and still feels meaningful. This book presents a practical framework, one that has been tested, for charting a personal course into the future. It encourages readers to question long-held assumptions and to consider career options that are likely to remain viable as the world changes.

The author also addresses how to balance professional ambitions against what may matter more, such as family, health, and one's deeper reason for being.
