In this episode we talk about adaptability as one of the most important skills to have for the future. The current chaotic state of the world often leaves people feeling scared and helpless. We discuss how to move into a more resourceful mindset. We talk about mental flexibility, self-sovereignty, modern nomadism, minimalism, the need for retooling, and other options that can help us become more adaptive and transition more readily into the world of the future.

IN THIS EPISODE OF FUTURE THINKERS:

- Practicing self-sovereignty instead of offloading responsibility to external entities - How to build mental flexibility to adapt as fast as possible to the rapidly changing world - Re-adopting a nomadic lifestyle as one possible response to the state of the world - Re-framing the collapse of current systems as a transition into a new state of being - The importance of retooling in order to overcome the feeling of helplessness - Why it is useful to adopt a minimalist mindset instead of accumulating possessions - How to hold multiple perspectives and frameworks at the same time - How to overcome fear of competition and be more specific about your goals - Building meme tribes of the future
