Three myths, straight from the sampler

A taste of what is inside.

Myth 05: The Obsolescence Myth

“My value as a person is determined by whether I can keep up with the machines.”

Reality: your job is to think. AI's job is to help you think better.

Myth 11: The Power Myth

The belief that authority has to be claimed loudly, or someone else will take it first.

Reality: the influence that lasts is the kind other people hand you.

Myth 09: The Approval Myth

The habit of measuring a day's worth by whether the client seemed happy at the end of it.

Reality: a client's mood is data. It is not your report card.
