“We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom.”
-E.O. Wilson
We are living in an era full of unknowns. The pace of technological change is accelerating and we are overflowing with data. The world is more interconnected, more noisy, and more chaotic than ever before. In a world that shifts rapidly beneath our feet, it’s easy to become frozen in the face of uncertainty. James Clear offers a timeless strategy: By understanding the unchanging certainties of human behavior you will have not only a solid layer of bedrock to stand on, but a valuable skill set that can become a competitive advantage.
James Clear takes audiences on a fascinating tour of the powerful and unchanging forces that have shaped human behavior for thousands of years. You’ll learn how to make decisions, weigh options, develop strategies and thrive in an uncertain world by mastering the constant and predictable certainties of human behavior. Asserting that “we don’t need better tactics, we need deeper understanding,” James prepares you for whatever’s next with insightful knowledge of the human elements that drive technology and disruption. The knowledge you gain will better prepare you to take action in any situation— today, tomorrow, and in the future. As James tells audiences, “If you know the principles, you can choose your methods.”
Master the Unknown Unknowns: How to Thrive in an Uncertain World
Category: Leadership
Description: We are living in a different era. The world is more interconnected, more noisy, and more chaotic than ever before. The pace of technological change is accelerating and we are overflowing with data. It is the most complex time in human history. Nobody can accurately predict what challenges the future may hold or how we should respond to them. In short, our future is filled with unknown unknowns.
In a complex world, one of the greatest skills you can develop is learning how to take action in the face of uncertainty. The best way to manage the unknown unknowns of the near future is to understand the forces that will remain unchanged. Cutting-edge tactics quickly become outdated with the latest algorithm or update. As soon as one strategy fails, we search for another. We don’t need better tactics, we need deeper understanding.
In a world that shifts rapidly beneath our feet, the fundamentals of human performance provide a solid layer of bedrock to stand on. In this talk, James Clear will take you on a tour of the powerful and unchanging forces that have shaped human behavior for thousands of years. We may not know what the tactics of the future will look like, but we can understand the fundamental forces that drive them. We live in a world of rapidly changing uncertainty, but we still need to get things done. Understanding these forces delivers greater power than any tactic ever could because the fundamentals can be applied to any situation you face — today, tomorrow, and in the future. If you know the principles, you can choose your methods.
