Adina Tarry's book "Nine things AI can't do for your future career but you can" captures the excitement and trepidation of a world on the brink of the 4th industrial (digital) revolution when the rapid prevalence and advancement of digital technologies make it unprecedented in scale and pace. Transition and change are permanent at home and at work demanding effort, focus, flexibility, adaptation, resilience, mental toughness, polymath abilities and all the inventiveness that we have as humans. Technology is a hard driver but is also the answer to many of the human challenges. With blurred lines between work and life by use of Internet, mobile devices, e-commerce, social media and consumerism, it is now possible to work from any location and any time, on a global scale. Skills, careers, professions and the balance of power between enterprises and human talent are changing at a pace which leaders, managers and the human resource function can hardly follow. And the expertise build up yesterday becomes obsolete tomorrow, job tenure is 6-24 months, mixed working and lifelong learning is the only guarantee of relevance, employability and a fulfilling career and AI can help with tutorials, data and research, admin, templates and generic documents but there are at least nine things that AI cannot do for humans. AI cannot second-guess and fill in who we are and the way our personality, invisible drivers and values, age and generations, awareness, unique identity and brand develop to define us. AI cannot fill in what we exchange with others in work and life in formal and informal assessments to be accepted, integrated and successful in new jobs and social settings, local and international. AI cannot replace us in the way we experience chance and happenstance with controlled and uncontrolled events, to navigate transitions, use agency and maintain happiness. Such life and work experiences are ours to be lived; these make us human and make us who we are. This is the contribution Adina Tarry's book "Nine things AI can't do for your future career but you can" offers based on her career coaching experience of working with many hundreds of individuals over decades to observe trends and patterns of questions, needs, answers, real life experiences of many and her own, that can help others to develop their hopeful and resilient self and cope with this extraordinary age of transition. This material is structured based on four perspectives: a definition and information on each of the nine developmental aspects covered, learning from the client group, learning from author's experience and, importantly, a direct invitation for the readers to reflect and engage in their own developmental thoughts based on this information. The book is a balanced blend of science and research, theory and practice, real life stories, anecdotes and useful tips, all leading to stimulating and supporting developmental self-reflection exercises. "Nine things AI can't do for your future career but you can" is a book that enables the readers to become aware of their own expectations, readiness, flexibility to adapt and respond to work and life transitions when faced with the new world of skills, jobs and careers, making Adina Tarry's book both informative and formative. There is a compelling message of hope in the understanding, valuing and owning our uniqueness as aware, engaged and empowered human beings as we unfold our journey, whilst we map our destiny in life and work, alone and together, in meaningful connections that co-create a good future for all, within the wider society and nature. The decision to be a strong human and exercise informed agency as a person and not as an AI attachment is a choice that people will have to make as themselves and not as digital imitations! And this is the empowering choice that Adina Tarry's book "Nine things AI can't do for your future career but you can" aims to facilitate.
