Do Agile: Futureproof your mind. Stay grounded.
When faced with 'new' and 'different', are we really open-minded – or wary and suspicious?
In a world obsessed with the latest tech or trend, where groupthink dominates, it's easy to close down our thinking; to mentally inhabit a space that is both comfortable and familiar. Yet what if we've become stuck in our ways? Or stopped having an opinion that was truly our own?
Do Agile is about resetting our minds and moving forward. Tim Drake shows us that to work effectively in any organisation – and in life in general, we require a mindset that is open, alert, engaged and positive. And importantly, aligned with our core principles. You will:
Define your values, as they change over time
Find out how 'giving back' leads to a positive mindset
Reignite a desire to learn
Retrain your mind to think more autonomously
Today's world requires a new type of toolkit. One that helps build mental resilience, a growth mindset, and a positive outlook. Once that's in place, you can do practically anything.

Agile, salah satu overused words dalam 5 tahun terakhir, setidaknya di kalangan profesional.
Tim Drake menjelaskan agile sebagai sebuah mindset agar lebih "lunak" dan terbuka terhadap perubahan dan dinamika lingkungan. Keterbukaan dan neoteny (think young, jiwa muda, you name it) adalah dua nilai yg membentuk mindset ini.
Bukan Do Books namanya kalo ga ada practical advice. Jadi, di buku ini kita juga menemukan beberapa to-do-list yg bisa dilakukan untuk mengimplementasikan agility di berbagai lingkungan, seperti kerja, gaya hidup, belajar, memberi dan berkontribusi, dan bersikap.
Tim Drake jg ngingetin kalo agility tuh ga bawaan lahir, tapi harus diusahain sebab kalo ga diusahain nanti kita bakal ngalamin yg namanya The Law of Entropy (without effort, life tends to lose order). Hal ini bisa menimbulkan masalah karena alamiahnya, manusia memiliki kebutuhan akan keteraturan (needs of order), makanya kita kadang lebih suka sama hal-hal yg predictable dan mudah insecure menghadapi ketidakpastian (uncertainty).
Salah satu kutipan dalam buku ini yg cukup awakening adalah:
"We always overestimate the change that will occur over the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction." -Bill Gates

Full of common advice and clichés
