The World Doesn't Need You: The End of Work: Reclaiming Purpose in the Age of AI

This book is a compass for anyone who feels the ground shifting beneath them and is asking, “Where do I go from here?” It reveals why knowledge is no longer enough, how to navigate the turbulence of this transition, and how to uncover the wisdom advantage only you can bring to thrive in the Age of AI.

The Knowledge Economy is collapsing. For generations, society rewarded us for what we knew. But artificial intelligence already out-thinks, out-remembers, and out-produces us. Degrees and titles no longer guarantee value.

Lawrence Ford has guided CEOs and heads of state, and walked with thousands of people through financial decisions, corporate transitions, and deeply personal crises of identity and change. He has helped catalyze movements in partnership with the United Nations, represented commerce as a force for peace at Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies, and has been called “The Shaman of Wall Street” by The Washington Post, “The Finance Guru” by NPR, and “a man of two worlds” by The Economist.

That uncommon combination is exactly what makes him one of the clearest guides for this moment—when both the systems we’ve built and the selves we’ve become are being tested by AI.

History will remember this as the moment everything changed. How you show up will define your future—and this book is your guide.
