Book Description

The events of 2020 have reshaped many of our lives. While most know what to do about the changes which have occurred, others have no clue. In 2018 when I wrote this book, little did I know it was literally speaking into the future. As you plan to navigate the “new normal” and sometimes tricky terrain, this book will be there to guide you. It follows a similar journey I had to take a few years ago; a journey to redefining myself. This second edition of the book has an added workbook. The workbook is designed to provide a framework for you to ask yourself tough questions. I hope the answers to these questions help you see what is truly possible. Many of us planned for a different future, and then all this happened, making that future no longer feasible. The art of re-invention is the most important skill to have when responding to similar life-altering events. In this book, I help you on the journey of re-invention. With it, you will also be able to help your children on their path early enough. I started writing this book a few years ago after I heard the phrase, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life”. I am ever more conscious of the fact that today is the beginning of what time I have left. I have written this book with that persuasion, hoping to help you find a new tempo for your steps. Find ways to anticipate the future, to prepare for that future and to re-engineer that future. How does one avoid obsoletion? How long does it take, standing on this very spot, to become obsolete? Apparently, becoming obsolete is more straightforward than I initially thought. This book tests a few assumptions some of us have held as true about how to make the most of the future. It may provide the keys to reinventing the future. I hope you enjoy it.
