Developing power that machines cannot replace
How to Grow Your Own Brand for Life

“Rather than fearing that AI will take our jobs,
“We need to find and nurture areas that AI can never replace.”

This book teaches us how to remain unshaken and grow amidst the changes brought about by AI.
From unique human capabilities that machines can't replicate, practical skills for collaborating with AI, to career planning strategies that allow for lifelong development.
The author shares specific methods for creating an "irreplaceable self" that will remain unshaken even in the AI ​​era, drawing on his experience and case studies accumulated over 30 years.

To become an 'irreplaceable me', three axes are needed.
First, strengthening areas that machines cannot do.
We must intentionally develop uniquely human abilities that AI cannot replicate, such as creativity, empathy, insight, and storytelling.
Second, learn the skills to collaborate with AI. We must treat AI as a partner, not a competitor, to dramatically increase our productivity and creativity.
Third, branding your own existence.
We need to instill a clear image and value in the market that says, 'This is something only this person can do.'
This will soon become the shield that protects me and the weapon that reveals me.

An irreplaceable person is not a perfect person.
Rather, he is a person who willingly accepts change and constantly redefines himself within it.
When new technologies emerge, curiosity outweighs fear, and when familiar methods are disrupted, they are able to turn it into an opportunity.
They are weaponizing AI while sharpening the weapons that only humans possess.

What's important now is not 'starting' but 'continuing'.
Let's continuously iterate based on the strategies and frameworks covered in this book.
Even if we put it into practice today and forget it tomorrow, let's consistently maintain the habit of growing 1% every day, reflecting on small failures and turning relationships into opportunities through network management.
These actions will accumulate and combine to make us irreplaceable survivors of the AI ​​era.
