Publisher's Synopsis
This book is the first of of an upcoming series titled "A Revolution Is Coming".Human history started with writings on the walls of caves and has evolved since to encompass writing on animal skin to paper and now we are here publishing e-books. While humanity as a whole has made a great leap forward, it is often at the expense of the society.We finally made it to the information age where anyone and everyone has access to unlimited amount of information, but does not seem to quench the thirst for a subtle type of knowledge. This knowledge seems to not be written anywhere. There are suggestions here and there on what has been working for some people but you still cannot quite relate to their experience.Once our college or university studies are over, we are dumped into the working world and are told to go make a living. But what does this mean to make a living. Arguably if you go back to someone and ask them the question, there is a pretty good chance that they will see you as dumb. So where to go to find the information that we need?We had the industrial revolution and this has caused so many disruptions. We have seen people starting off as poor and ended up getting rich and we have stories which are the opposite also. We have seen the emergence of formal schools, formal degrees and formal jobs. Before the industrial revolution, which access to education, one could make a living but in today's world, this is no more possible. With our wants on the highest pedestal, we are foregoing our future by letting the world make the decisions for us.This was followed by the internet revolution and businesses took on a new angle and new kinds of jobs were created and more money is available on the market for grabs. We are running to our heels so that we are not the last one to arrive and be ridiculed by society and our peers. The burden for success is so much higher as we have a feeling that everyone is watching us and failing is not an option. The next revolution is now under way and are we prepared for it? The industrial and Internet revolutions have created so many disruptions and destroyed so many of our values, environment and culture. While there are benefits, how can the common person be prepared for it. Often times, all the disruptions fall on us like an avalanche and we feel powerless at the grandeur of things.How do we prepare our kids when we ourselves are not ready to face the full force of a revolution? How do we prepare ourselves? Can I dodge the effects of a revolution? Maybe it is true a revolution is coming or maybe not? Should I waste time preparing myself for something that might not even come? The questions soon feel overwhelming and our mind has only one thing that it will do. It will shut itself up in order to prevent us from going through the trauma of not knowing or taking unnecessary risks. But eventually we will have to face the truth when we will have our own kids. We either do the same things that our parents did to us in hope of getting the same result or we take things in action. The latter option is the more sensible option as we already know from the past that teachings changes with time and we have to evolve and adapt to ensure that we understand our kids and dive deep into their new environment, more challenging than ever before.The new scarcity in town is not food or money or leisure. It is becoming an identity crisis and people are getting it at a younger age with each passing generation. In order to address the issue, we must first delve into our own unconscious behaviours that we think are good but turns out to be detrimental over time. It is always the nice guy or girl who ends up poisoning a relationship. Why? Let us dive into the first chapter of the series for thought provoking thoughts.
