Summary & Review

"Tomorrowmind" by Gabriella Rosen Kellerman and Martin Seligman is a enlightening exploration of the psychological skills necessary to prosper in our rapidly changing world of work. The narrative delves into a concept they coin "PRISM", an acronym for five abstract components that arguably create a thriving mindset. These are: Prospection - an ability to look ahead and anticipate change, Resilience and agility - the capacity to bounce back from setbacks, Innovation and creativity - harnessing unique human capabilities, Social Connection (creating a rapid rapport) - the ability to foster relationships and connection with others, and Mattering - the recognition and understanding that each individual's work is meaningful and significant. Each of the authors explains these skills using a blend of personal anecdotes, novel research, and established study. They believe these skills are attainable for everyone and can be developed through dedicated practice. The book aspires to foster behavioral change in individuals and organizations to address the unprecedented challenges of the future of work from an informed, psychologically resilient standpoint.
