Wow! What a book! If you’re feeling nervous about the future and how it is changing already, this book may help put you at ease. Ric Edelman is a financial advisor, we’ll known throughout the country. In this book, he makes the future look exciting, full of advancements in all fields, from medicine to transportation, to education, to investment and beyond. He explains many things I did not understand, like bit coin, and AI, which seems to threaten or be dismissed by many. Well, it’s here and it’s happening and it will continue whether we’re on board or not, Ric uses laymen’s language and terms to discuss our “brave new world”. It is not complex reading, but it does make sense of what few understand and fear. One of the chapters that I felt was very hopeful, lists jobs that are and will be going away BUT ALSO, lists jobs that will be staying and new jobs that will be coming. He, of course, gives investment advice, which is useful. This book, may, if you’re like me, bring you up to speed, cheer you, invite you into the exciting future, and give you good advice for how to stay afloat and relevant. Do it! Jump in! We’re on a ride into a vet new experience, and that’s ok! Read more
