As the nature of life and work continue to be shaped by technology, and as the value that we add to the world continues to migrate from the physical and cognitive domains to the emotional domain, focusing on discovering our purpose and developing our individual and collective emotional potential are becoming more pressing necessities. This has been accelerated by the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), particularly the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. As A.I. learns from us and becomes more capable of delivering many of the tasks that humans used to perform, we are forced to question our cognitive superiority and even the future of our relevance.

To navigate these challenges and seize the potential before us, a new human development framework becomes essential. This book aims to provide such a framework that emphasises the recognition of our purpose, harnessing our emotional potential and transforming our stories as ultimate leadership objectives. The straightforward exercises outlined in the book can be used by leaders, educators, and parents to deliver results in corporate, school, and home environments.
