3.0
‘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.’
