In his new book, The Wolf Is At The Door, author Ben Angel asks those who are fearful of AI's impact on their livelihoods to consider what they bring to the table that technology cannot replicate. In this excerpt, he outlines strategies for reshaping our personal and professional identities in the wake of AI.
The day I buried my father was the day I buried my sense of identity. Bereft of his guiding presence in my life, I felt a deep sense of irrelevance. At 23, I was still discovering myself while embarking on a new career. Yet there were promises I had made to both of us on that piece of paper in the dark, quiet hours of the morning that I planned to keep. I kept that piece of paper framed above my desk, where it served as my North Star. Among the many ambitions scribbled on it, one stood out in particular: "Visit New York." I'm not sure why, but the city held a peculiar allure. However, life isn't always linear; it's an interwoven journey of experiences. Setting foot in New York would have to wait as I embarked on a somewhat different expedition, navigating my way through the seven stages of grief. Unbeknownst to me then, this phase of my life would lay the foundation for today.
