Preface to My 1st Book:
Your Move, Human Volume 1

Hope ya’ll had a great Diwali last week ✨

There’s always that strange quiet after the lights fade — where the world slows down for just a moment, everyone exhales… and then real life kicks the door back open.

This week, it was the headlines doing the honors:

Nothing like a quick reminder that the future of work doesn’t take holidays, hey?

So for today’s issue, I’d like to share something different — the preface to my first book, Your Move, Human: Volume 1, which officially goes live this weekend.

PS: I’m no professional author, so go easy on me. Here goes… 🙈

Preface

If you zoom out far enough, the story of humanity is just a long series of upgrades.

At some point, someone looked around and asked ⤵️

And that one question — gentle, persistent, quietly rebellious — became the thread behind every idea made real.

Think about it.. 💭

This question?
We’ve asked it everywhere.
In medicine. In food. In how we travel, how we connect, even how we learn..

I mean, not that long ago —

All of it made sense… until it didn’t.
We challenged. We evolved. We finally moved forward. 🔁

But there’s one domain where that same level of questioning has been suspiciously absent: Work 👨‍💻👩‍💻

For some reason, we’ve let it stay sacred.
Unquestioned. Untouched.

And now — ready or not — that evolution has arrived.

Suddenly, it’s not just a whisper beneath the surface.

It’s loud. 📢 It’s visible.
And it’s deeply personal.

You see, when the ground beneath our work shifts, it doesn’t just affect our title.
It reaches deep into our identity.

It reshapes how we see ourselves — and how the world sees us.

And I bet you’ve felt it too, haven’t you? 😓

That quiet unease —that creeping sense that something isn’t quite adding up…

In fact, you’re tuned in. 🛠️

It’s the part of you that knows something’s off. That the old promise — climb the ladder, stay the course, remain loyal — isn’t quite delivering anymore.

And that’s the same feeling that pulled me into the deep end…

I didn’t just want to survive the shift. I wanted to understand it. Deconstruct it..

👷 And then rebuild on my own terms…
With clarity, intention, and a compass that still worked no matter the terrain.

What it took? 5 patient years.

This journey wasn’t linear. It definitely wasn’t graceful.

But eventually, a pattern began to emerge. And with it — a strategy. 🧠

A flexible frame!

Now I won’t pretend to have every answer.
But I do have something worth sharing.
Something I trust.

A way through this moment. 🛣️

Not to outrun the coming disruption — but to meet it with intention.

That’s what this book is here to offer.
A field guide. A frame. A blueprint.
Structured around three timely signals:

Welcome to the next chapter in work’s evolution

That’s all for today!

Until then —
It’s check ♞ but not mate (not yet).
Your Move, Human.
