By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The world was thrown into a new paradigm in 2020, when the income disparity gap widened, hundreds of millions of people lost their jobs, and people lost more and more loved ones as the virus continued to spread. People began to realize that the answers they were looking for weren’t binary.

#2 The World Economic Forum calls the period we’re living in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It took seventy-five years for the telephone to reach fifty million people in the world, but nineteen days to reach the same number of people in 2016.

#3 The more automated we get, the more we should be reminded that we have a choice as to what we believe in and pray to. It’s never been more important to control what’s within us, our beliefs, purpose, values, and ability to adapt.

#4 The uncertainty we’ve experienced in the world should be at its highest point, but our realities paint a different picture. We’re still jarred by brands that we thought would be permanent fixtures in our lives suddenly disappearing or filing for bankruptcy.
