B
I used to think I was a good person. I was caring to my friends, my partner, my family; I gave to charity and I
volunteered. But when I started training to become atherapist , I began to understand that however much we
might like to think of ourselves as good people, we don't actually know ourselves very well. I learned about how we
might, without consciously realizing it, deny the feelings and motivations we consider to be bad, pushing them down
into our unconscious and projecting them out on to others, so they become the bad people. I learned that deep in the
human mind, alongside love and kindness, run currents of anger, need, greed, envy, destructiveness, superiority—
whether we want to acknowledge them or not.
It was 22-ycar-old Boru who taught me what it really means to be a good grown up. We first spoke two years ago.
He was unemployed, living with his parents, watching his friends’ lives progress. A good grown-up, he told me, is
“someone who has his ducks in a row” and that wasn't him.
I also didn't feel like the competent, confident grown-up I thought I should be and neither did most of the adults
I knew. I researched statistics about people hitting the traditional landmarks of adulthood later and later, if at all
from buying a home to getting married or starting a family. I recognized what made me feel like a bad grown-up: that
I'll sit with a broken fridge rather than call an engineer to repair it.
Then I saw Boru again. He told me how, over two years, he'd found a job he loves, rented a flat with a friend.
He's now cycling round the world, having adventures that will keep him strong for the rest of his life. So what
changed? “You start to have those conversations with yourself, and you become more of an honest person. I don't feel
like I'm hiding from anything anymore, because I'm not hiding from myself. ”
I think growing up must involve finding your own way to have those conversations. Boru does it on his bike, I do
it in psychoanalysis, others I spoke to do it while cooking or playing music. That, for Boru, and for me, is what it
means to “have his ducks in a row”.

What makes a certain piece of writing great? Well, it depends on whom you ask. There are, in my mind, three
different readers: casual readers, lit critics, creative writers. They would say the following about Charlotte Brontë’ s
Jane Eyre:
Casual reader: Jane's story is very relatable, especially to women who survived their teenage years. The story's
elements of romance, mystery, and coming-of-age make it enjoyable to read.
Literary critic: Jane Eyre pulls inspiration from the Gothic and romantic literary traditions. The atmospheric
setting mirrors Jane's inner world and serves as a character itself.
Creative writer: Jane has an appealing character and her pursuit of a fulfilling life is timeless. While Jane's
emotions are often verbose
, each word still feels necessary in most passages.
All of these responses are reasonable interpretations of the great literary work Jane Eyre. What's the difference
between these three? The casual reader is primarily interested in the story's relatability and entertainment value; the
literary critic, who knows how to read literature like a professor, looks for ways to situate this work in its broader
literary context.
The creative writer must do both: the job of the casual reader and the job of the critic. He/ she engages with the
work on a personal level while also researching what makes a work successful. This is Reading Like a Writer
RLW
,
which means being impacted by a piece of literature while investigating how the writer did it. Successful works of
writing succeed for different reasons-a distinctive voice, moving storytelling, an empowering message, etc. Writers
don't make the achievement randomly: they earn it by crafting every plot point and character, every line break, with
care and precision. It's up to you to pay attention to these craft elements, the choices the writer makes and how they
contribute to the work as a whole.
Yes, reading like a writer is extra work. But it's necessary work to the writing practice. By observing the
strategies writers employ to tell convincing stories or write engaging arguments, you equip yourself with the
knowledge to perform these strategies yourself.

In the past, jobs were about muscles. Now they're about brains, but in the future, they'll be about the heart.
Minouche Shafik, the president of Columbia University
LinkedIn researchers recently looked at which skills any given job requires and then identified over 500 likely to
be affected by generative A. I. technologies. They then estimated that 96 percent of a software engineer's current skills
—
mainly in programming languages
can eventually be possessed by A. I. Skills associated with jobs like legal
associates and finance officers will also be highly exposed. In fact, given the broad impact A. I. is set to have, it is
quite likely to affect all of our work to some degree or another.
Circling around this research is the big question emerging across so many conversations about A. I. and work,
namely: What are our core capabilities as humans?
If we answer this question from a place of fear about what's left for people in the age of A. I. , we can end up
admitting a diminished view of human capability. Instead, it's critical for us all to start from a place that imagines
what's possible for humans in the age of A. I. When we do that, we find ourselves focusing quickly on people skills
that allow us to cooperate and innovate in ways technology can intensify but never replace.
A recent Jobs for the Future survey found that 78 percent of the 10 top-employing occupations classified
uniquely human skills and tasks as “important” or “very important. ” These, commonly referred to as soft skills,
include building interpersonal relationships, negotiating between parties and guiding and motivating teams.
Now is the time for leaders, across departments, to develop new ways for students to learn that are more directly
tied to where our economy is going, not where it has been. Critically, that involves bringing the same level of
preciseness to training around people skills that we have brought to technical skills.
Ultimately, for our society, this comes down to whether we believe in the potential of humans with as much
belief as we believe in the potential of A. I. If we do, it is entirely possible to build a world of work that not only is
more human but also is a place where all people are valued for the unique skills we have, enabling us to deliver new
levels of human achievement across so many areas that affect all of our lives.

Your Life Is Better Than You Think
The undeniable popularity of self-help books, wellness podcasts, and happiness workshops reflects the constant
human desire to make life better.
While we may have a loving family, a good place to live, and a decent job,
ungrateful or stupid, but it's because of a basic feature of our brain, known as habituation.

It's not because we are
Habituation is the tendency of neurons to fire less and less in response to things that are constant. You enter a
room filled with roses and after a short while, you cannot detect their scent any longer; and just as you get used to the
smell of fresh flowers, you also get used to a loving relationship, to a promotion, to a nice home, to a wonderful work
of art. Like the front page of a daily newspaper, your brain cares about what recently changed, not about what
remained the same.
