In this episode we discuss where work is headed over the next decade. Building on the previous episode about the current workplace crisis, we examine the demonstrable trends already in motion - from AI handling machine tasks to skills eclipsing credentials, flexible work evolving beyond current compromises, meaningful contribution becoming essential, and how all of this connects to the self-knowledge journey and the progression of freedom.

In this episode we cover:

- How AI integration clarifies human versus machine tasks and what that means for your livelihood

- The shift from credentials to skills-based economy and what you can actually demonstrate

- Current trends in flexible work - hybrid models, remote work, and the digital nomad possibility

- Why meaningful contribution and purpose are becoming central to work decisions

- The irreplaceable human role and the crucial distinction with machine tasks

- Why organisations must choose between human development or demographic crisis

- How self-knowledge and shadow work becomes a necessary differentiator

- How this connects to Habit 4: Contribute Your Unique and Specific Value

In this live talk and workshop I break down modern shadow work and Carl Jung's concept of the shadow, exploring why this psychological approach matters for genuine human development. This talk serves as a high-level overview and introduction to shadow work concepts alongside the deeper content I cover elsewhere.

We explore:

- A definition of the shadow and why it exists

- How cultural conditioning shapes what we accept and reject about ourselves

- The persona-shadow dynamic and how our "masks" create blind spots

- How 'good' becomes corrupted when acted out to extremes

- Why people-pleasing becomes manipulative

- The difference between integration and suppression

- The five ways shadow manifests in daily life

- Why shadow work is never truly "finished"

- Why suffering is irreducible in meaningful growth

- The role of good and evil

Recorded live at the Open Door Centre in Tbilisi with real questions and pushback from participants.

- How work patterns have evolved from survival to systemisation to information processing
