Humility Is the New Smart
Rethinking Human Excellence in the Smart Machine Age
Summary:
The book argues that in an era where technology and smart machines are reshaping the nature of work, traditional cognitive skills will become less valuable, and the skills of being human—such as emotional engagement, creativity, and humility—will become the key differentiators of success. It emphasizes the importance of adapting our mindset to a learning-oriented approach that embraces humility and continuous improvement in the face of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence and automation.
Key points:
1. New Smart: Being "smart" now means thinking, learning, and collaborating effectively, rather than just knowing a lot. Critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability are key.
