Flow Generation: A Survival Guide for our Unpredictable Lives
A book that captures the spirit of our times like no other.
Remember when clouds were in the sky, phones were in the wall and work was something we ‘went to’? Technology has changed that. Secure jobs have become insecure gigs, home is where the Wi-Fi is and our boss is an algorithm.
And us? We’re all over the place, unsure about the future, because everything keeps changing faster than we can blink. Unlike our parents we have no clear idea how to make it to retirement It’s like our life has turned liquid.
How do we stay afloat in a world where all the old paths are crumbling? How will we earn money tomorrow? Is our degree still relevant? Will we ever afford a house? Have a pension? Live happily ever after?
This book is brimming with stories of people and startups who have figured it out. Original, uplifting and peppered with a pinch of philosophy, Nicoló Andreula and Vera Sprothen’s Flow Generation is a timely and colourful guidebook for our fast-paced economic reality. It shows readers how to move beyond fear and brave the unknown, as we enter a future that seems more unpredictable than ever – and yet it’s better than we think.

Just give a look to the date I started the book and when I completed it. It has been a beautiful journey and immersive experience. It gave me a lot of inspiration for the future and a clear vision on specific topics I knew very little.
Now I've more consciousness on what I've to chase and how to be part of this fluid age.

Flow Generation is a fantastic read for anyone interested in understanding the trends shaping our society and the people behind them. Much more entertaining than your typical economics textbook, it is filled with practical wisdom and fascinating life stories. It is one of the very few books you read once every five years that makes you want to drop everything you are doing right now and encourage you to start thinking nice and hard. Think about where you are in life right now, think about where your intrinsic value lies and most importantly, think about what you really want to accomplish and leave behind.
