This was a really good book and one that you should definitely read if you want to become a better thinker and avoid thinking errors that we’re all susceptible to. Hess and Ludwig premise the book by discussing how AI and machines are going to start taking jobs (and already have), so becoming a better thinker is going to make you more valuable in the workplace.
Personally, since I read a ton of books on this topic, there wasn’t much new, but I still really enjoyed the book because it has everything a book like this needs. It has a ton of research and studies as well as stories. I’m not a fan of how often people use Ray Dalio in books like this, but I forgive the authors for doing so. It’s for sure worth the read.

Interesting book about the future of work in the era of AI and ML. It's a thought provoking overview of what you need to be thinking about in the future of work. Lots of follow-up suggestions if you want to dive deeper.

‘Humility Is the New Smart’ posits that, with AI poised to eliminate millions and millions of jobs in the coming decades, “smart” isn’t enough to succeed in today’s or tomorrow’s career environment. In a world in which AI will be able to access and synthesize information much more rapidly than an human can, tomorrow’s premium will be placed on the people who can work well in teams, keep their egos separate from their ideas, and create.
As you may imagine, this book is geared toward people working in the knowledge economy: roofers may not be particularly worried about AI. Nevertheless, this book does offer a gloss on the contemporary business and leadership literary landscape, leaning particularly hard on Kahneman’s ‘Thinking Fast and Slow.’ Even if you aren’t a knowledge worker, even if you aren’t particularly worried about AI’s impact on your field, you can learn some lessons from ‘Humility Is the New Smart.’

I was really excited to read this book.... but it just didn't do anything for me. It felt like it tried to be a book on AI/Automation, business, and self-help - and didn't solidly land on any of those. It wasn't that it was bad, I just didn't find it all that useful and I won't be recommending it to anyone.
