Introduction

As we navigate the heart of 2024, the world isn’t just changing — it’s transforming at breakneck speed. AI is reshaping every aspect of our lives, from how we work to how we connect. Crypto markets are evolving, geopolitical tensions simmer, and despite our hyper-connected world, loneliness continues its silent epidemic. In this era of unprecedented change, how do we not just survive, but thrive?

Drawing inspiration from Douglas Holt’s insight in the Harvard Business Review, let’s use the current zeitgeist to craft a roadmap for personal growth in the AI Age. Forget Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century — here are my 21 Game-Changing Habits for Thriving in a World of Rapid Change!

2. During conversations, keep your phone out of sight — not even face down on the table.
