If people aren't talking about this book already, they should be! This book is an absolute eye-opener. Since the dawn of the digital age, the traditional workplace has changed drastically. I might be stating the obvious here, but when I read what this author had to say, it became even clearer that technology has truly become a double-edged sword with the power to both liberate and enslave.I'm fortunate enough now in my twilight years that I don't have to worry so much about how the future workforce will impact on me. However, I have spoken to my family about the contents of this book and how it will most definitely impact on them and their children.This book is a complete guide on how to successfully navigate the treacherous jobs environment, mitigating the risks of job loss, job insecurity, and discusses the increasing repercussions of automation. It pits East and West against each other in terms of work ethics, and places emphasis on innovation and creativity.So, how does one survive and thrive in this new labour market? `Work 2.0' offers great insight and helpful solutions on staying competitive in this world of uncertainty in which we live.This is a superbly written book that's packed to the rafters with useful and practical information. It becomes very clear as you read through this wealth of knowledge that the author knows exactly what he's talking about.I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who is concerned about the future and has a conscience as to what role we can play in making it a better one for future generations to come.
