"Conventional work wisdom that seems like it was written by an AI Agent.

Prompt: Take the 5 Cs [curiosity, courage, creativity, compassion, and communication] and create a 170 page book that repeats the same 5 concepts.

Skim it!"
Open to Work by Ryan Roslansky
"There were some genuinely good bits, mostly the reflection on how industrialization shaped both the education system and the career ladder. But those could have been fitted in a longish article and one that could have been written at any point in the" Read more of this review »

Quotes by George Anders  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“What’s so poignant about this mismatch is that a winning campus-to-career alliance is within reach—if only the combatants could talk about their values, needs, and achievements in a shared language that makes sense to one another. Instead, scholars, students, and employers are at odds because of an agonizing translation problem.”
George Anders, You Can Do Anything: The Surprising Power of a "Useless" Liberal Arts Education

“a generous backer of your town’s museums, schools and churches.”
George Anders, Merchants of Debt: The Full Version
