There are guide books for soldiers returning home. There are also books written for ex-athletes. "Future Proof" is the in-depth What-Now book for corporate executives not quite yet retiring but looking over the cliff. We are trying to see if the proverbial life playing golf is all that cracked-up to be. We are trying to put off Florida but volunteering at the library does not seem to be right either. We are kind of stuck between the true baby-boomers and Millennials, plus most of us are dealing with mid-life crisis.
If this sounds like a page out of your own diary that you have not written, read "Future Proof". Diana has done a lot of the thinking and research for us. Along with her easy-to-read writing style, this book is a bit like the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" for a corporate exec. It makes you feel good (at least better than before.)
So before you go buy that Porsche, read this book and feed that soul. (And then you can still go buy that Porsche if that is your thing.)

One of the most relevant books to read when you are rethinking your strategy
"Future Proof" by Diana David appeared to be the most fascinating book I read in years.Not only it came from the person I knew as a top executive and professional in media business, but also it was born in the heart of a very peculiar place: Hong Kong, where East meets West, and life is so vibrant and experiences are so rich.It was really sad to learn about the tragic event that triggered the story, but then it was increasingly interesting to see how the author goes from a so-typical-for-us-all problem to analysis / rethinking and then a solution.Let's give ourselves permission to live life on our own terms!I made this choice many years ago and have been dealing with lots and lots of entrepreneurs that made similar choice, so really appreciate the wisdom and the practical sense so well outlined in Diana's book.Highly recommended; I think it's a must to read for anybody rethinking life and business strategy.
