Or like, oh, maybe I should go move to San Francisco because that's where AI is.

And it's like, wait,

What do you want in this life?

It may be that San Francisco is where you should go, but it may also be that that's not true, that the technologies, by the way, that allow you to do whatever you want to do can show up everywhere.

If you can be really clear on what it is you want to accomplish in this life and what it is you want your future to look like, and you can be amenable to how you arrive there, then you will have a good time.

And there are a lot of examples of this, but the tooling, I argue, is actually just making it easier to accomplish what you want to accomplish.

What it is complicating, and you pointed this out, is that if you don't know what you want to be, if you're not clear on what your future should hold,

It is terrifying every day to see a new person become a billionaire or a new person start a great new company or a new person achieve a dream you think you might want.

Because you sit there and go, wait, maybe that's the thing or maybe that's the thing.

And it's like, no, just because someone else does it doesn't mean that you should do it.

And just because the technology exists for you to do something doesn't mean you should do it with that thing anyways.

And that, to me, is actually the hard part right now.

First of all, I rate adaptability really highly.

I just couch it that there is plenty of things you do not need to be adaptable to.

You don't need to adapt on your principles.

You don't need to adapt on your values.

You don't need to adapt on your vision.

What you should adapt is how you actually accomplish what you want to accomplish.

On how I see the future of work is a different, so I'll tell a lesson and then I will tell you how I see the future of work.

One of the lessons that has been sticking with me lately because the book comes out January 13th.
