Synopsis

So, This is How the World Works. As a parent, you are probably concerned about what the new tomorrow looks like for your children amid talk of how technology will fundamentally change the way we live and work. The motivation for this book comes from the simple notion that everything a child needs to know­–today–to prepare for this new tomorrow is already available. The reason they are not exposed to it is that schools have not begun teaching them.

This three-book series explains the adult concepts of economics, leadership, and management in ways a child can understand. I taught my daughter Newton’s laws of motion when she was just four years old by making her experience it standing in a moving bus. I have no doubt that equipping our children with real-world knowledge earlier in their lives, rather than later, is key to preparing for this so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution. With this new view of the world, children go into their teen years asking more relevant questions in school about the real world, making them better at creating solutions and adapting to changes. Parents are encouraged to read these books with their children and add their own real workplace examples into these life lessons.
