Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change

By April Rinne

Book Overview

"A reassuring, hands-on guide to treating unexpected events as challenges to embrace rather than obstacles to avoid." --Adam Grant, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Think Again

Being adaptable and flexible have always been hallmarks of effective leadership and a fulfilling life. But in a world of so much--and faster-paced--change, and an ever-faster pace of change, flexibility and resilience can be stretched to their breaking points. The quest becomes how to find calm and lasting meaning in the midst of enduring chaos.

A world in flux calls for a new mindset, one that treats constant change and uncertainty as a feature, not a bug. Flux helps readers open this mindset--a flux mindset--and develop eight "flux superpowers" that flip conventional ideas about leadership, success, and well-being on their heads. They empower people to see change in new ways, craft new responses, and ultimately reshape their relationship to change from the inside out. April Rinne defines these eight flux superpowers:
Run slower.See what's invisible.Get lost.Start with trust.Know your "enough."Create your portfolio career.Be all the more human (and serve other humans).Let go of the future.Whether readers are sizing up their career, reassessing their values, designing a product, building an organization, trying to inspire their colleagues, or simply showing up more fully in the world, enjoying a flux mindset and activating their flux superpowers will keep readers grounded even when the ground is too often shifting beneath them.

"You'll never look at change and uncertainty in the same way again." --Chip Conley, founder of Modern Elder Academy and New York Times-bestselling author
