How do you flourish and thrive in a fast-changing world?
As emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine learning reshape our world with unprecedented speed, scope, and complexity, learning to live and act 'on purpose' becomes the greatest gift you can give yourself. This gift will not only empower you but also enhance your health, wellbeing, self-actualization, welfare, relationships, self-esteem, and stress resilience. But how do you find your purpose? How can you design your life, i.e., your future, 'on purpose' and become the person you were born to be? Tom Meyers shares his moving personal story, offering insights into how, through a three-step process, you can gain a deeper and holistic understanding of your potential—the aspects of yourself that do not change and can be built upon no matter how the world around you transforms. This journey to self-discovery is not just about adapting to change but thriving through it, by anchoring in the unchangeable core of who you are. 'Futurize Yourself: Design Your Life on Purpose' not only guides you through identifying and embracing your true potential but also illuminates the path to designing your life with intention. This book is an essential read for anyone looking to navigate the uncertainties of the modern world with confidence and purpose, ultimately leading to a life of fulfilment and success. |

Key Message
They key message of the book is how to find your purpose and design a life you want to wake up to every morning. A life that is future-proof, resilient and in which you can navigate with ease the challenges ahead and the changes emerging technologies will have on every aspect of your life without becoming technology.
This message is related through the story how three questions saved Tom's life 18 years ago when he was 29.
Three questions and 15 minutes of his time was all it took to discover his purpose. When looking back, these questions that he was given were part of a three step process he had unknowingly undergone to find out and ultimately become who he was born to be: A global communicator, teacher, researcher and therapist.
The first step he had to take was to change how he thought about his experiences, about himself and shed some limiting beliefs that he had picked-up on the way.
Only then was he free enough to embark in step two, to see his potential within through the mirror-perspective the three questions gave him.
With a new outlook on the past and insights on his potential he was able enter step three to - although with trepidation - design his life on purpose. A life he wanted to wake up to every morning. A life he knew through step one and two that was close to his heart.
Unknowingly, the process and dedicating his life to his purpose and mission he Futurized himself.
