AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Work is changing for everyone, everywhere. Standing still isn't an option. Ryan Roslansky and Aneesh Raman, CEO and Chief Economic Opportunity Officer at LinkedIn, show you how to take control of this moment with clarity and confidence.
The future of work is not a distant horizon. It is being built right now. While some of us are experimenting and adapting with AI, most of us are feeling anxious and uncertain, navigating rapid change with outdated playbooks. We're relying on old career advice that assumes the tasks you do at work are static, that the skills you learned in school last decades, and that success comes from moving up a predictable ladder. That's the old world of work, and it's on the way out.
Open to Work offers a new path forward. Backed by real-time insights from over a billion professionals on LinkedIn, it is a clear-eyed view of what's actually changing, what skills you really need, and how to stay ahead at work as AI reshapes every aspect of work.
You'll meet early movers like Neil, who used AI to get better at his job; Jonetta, who used AI to get a new job; and Taj, who used AI to build a business.
You’ll also get expert perspectives across the future of work and careers, helping you discover what will make you competitive in ways no machine can replace. You'll learn how to:
Assess which parts of your job to delegate to AI, and which to keep for yourselfBuild the core human capabilities that will carry you through any technological shiftTake action, including with a 30-60-90 day plan
Both a roadmap and a rallying cry, Open to Work delivers an urgent truth: change is coming. The only question is whether you harness it or let it overtake you.

"AI could be how we flip the script on the last few hundred years and have technology serving us rather than us serving technology," assert LinkedIn executives Roslansky and Raman in this cogent debut guide to the future of work. Drawing on insights from LinkedIn's billion-plus members, they detail the concerns, limitations, and possibilities of AI in the workforce. The authors share stories from workers like Jonetta Gresham, a nurse turned project manager who once described herself as a "hell no to AI person." While pursuing an IT certification, however, she realized AI was an ally that could translate information she needed to learn into words and analogies she understood. Workers like Gresham succeed, the authors explain, by honing unique human capabilities—what they call the 5Cs: curiosity, courage, creativity, compassion, and communication—and delegating routine tasks to AI. They advise readers to place tasks into three buckets: those AI can do alone (generating reports), those that can be done in partnership with AI (having AI draft content that one can then edit), and uniquely human tasks (calming down a nervous client). They conclude with a 30-60-90–day plan for adopting AI, which includes exercises for improving tech proficiency, as well as strengthening interpersonal skills like relationship-building. Offering practical tips for AI implementation while also emphasizing the vital skills people bring to their careers, this is a nuanced perspective on a hot-button topic. AI skeptics and enthusiasts alike will find much of interest.
