Ideas Are Your Only Currency

FUTURE-PROOFING FOR THINKERS.

'What skills and abilities will a student need to prosper in five, ten, or fifteen years' time?'

In a world of change, where skills become out of date quickly, it is ideas that last.

We all need to be prepared for a world that is fluid, global and interdisciplinary. Distinctions between specialties will blur and overlap. Change is happening at electrifying speed. In this vortex there are no maps.

Featuring 100 interactive chapters to inspire groundbreaking new ideas, this is perfect for fans of Keri Smith's Wreck this Journal, Paul Arden's It's Not How Good You Are and Rolf Dobelli's global bestseller The Art of Thinking Clearly.

'What skills will I need to prosper in five, ten, twenty years' time?'

You're asking the wrong question.

Skills become outdated the moment you learn them; knowledge becomes surpassed instantly.

If you want to future-proof yourself, you need to become an ideas person:adaptable, open minded, adept at problem solving. A communicator, inventor, artist and entertainer.

An Olympic athlete trains their body. A creative person has to train their imagination. The exercises in these pages will make your mind fit and lean enough to be an ideas generator, to develop your conceptual ability and creative potential regardless of your background or profession.

Think beyond what is accepted and conventional.
