AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Work is changing for everyone, everywhere. Standing still isn't an option. Ryan Roslansky and Aneesh Raman, CEO and Chief Economic Opportunity Officer at LinkedIn, show you how to take control of this moment with clarity and confidence.

The future of work is not a distant horizon. It is being built right now. While some of us are experimenting and adapting with AI, most of us are feeling anxious and uncertain, navigating rapid change with outdated playbooks. We're relying on old career advice that assumes the tasks you do at work are static, that the skills you learned in school last decades, and that success comes from moving up a predictable ladder. That's the old world of work, and it's on the way out.

Open to Work offers a new path forward. Backed by real-time insights from over a billion professionals on LinkedIn, it is a clear-eyed view of what's actually changing, what skills you really need, and how to stay ahead at work as AI reshapes every aspect of work.

You'll meet early movers like Neil, who used AI to get better at his job; Jonetta, who used AI to get a new job; and Taj, who used AI to build a business.

You’ll also get expert perspectives across the future of work and careers, helping you discover what will make you competitive in ways no machine can replace. You'll learn how to:

• Assess which parts of your job to delegate to AI, and which to keep for yourself
• Build the core human capabilities that will carry you through any technological shift
• Take action, including with a 30-60-90 day plan

Both a roadmap and a rallying cry, Open to Work delivers an urgent truth: change is coming. The only question is whether you harness it or let it overtake you.

The 5 C’s of human Capability that Ai cannot replace

Love it. Well done, quick read/listen. Have done most of the exercises and like that I found a few new ones. Thanks gentlemen.

Timely

This speaks to the fears that many of my coworkers have expressed and reinforces to me that people are wha really matter. Nobody likes getting cheap service, and that is what AI provides. As some things get cheap value will shift to what AI does poorly. Yes it is world changing technology, but there are distinctly human characteristics that will still be valuable moving forward. Yes jobs will change, but there is still a bright future for humans. This certainly speaks directly to the fears I have heard from many others.

Excellent first steps

Very concise. Straight forward information that motivated me to seek more information to use AI. Embrace AI don’t fear it - is the biggest takeaway I got from “Open to Work”.
