Description
Wisdom at Work: The Making of a Modern Elder by Chip Conley explores the shift in the modern workplace and the value of experience in an age of rapid change. At 52, after selling his company, Conley joined Airbnb as Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy, where he discovered that his years of experience were not seen as a strength, but rather as a liability. He realized that to thrive in this environment, one must be willing to learn, adapt, and evolve. Conley argues that the term "elder" has been stigmatized, and it's time to redefine what it means to be wise and valuable in the workplace. This book is about embracing wisdom and experience as a source of power, rather than something to be left behind. It offers practical advice on how to navigate the challenges of midlife work and become indispensable in your career. By redefining ageism and challenging traditional notions of success, Conley provides a fresh perspective on what it means to be successful in the second half of life.
