Bend, Don't Break: How to Adapt in the New World of Work

The future of work isn't waiting for you to catch up.

AI is reshaping jobs. Entire industries are shifting faster than most of us can catch our breath. The new competitive edge isn't expertise-it's adaptability.

But real adaptability isn't just about being flexible. It's about building a system that helps you evolve without losing what matters most. In Bend, Don't Break, Matt A. West introduces the Adaptability System-a practical, research-backed framework for navigating change with purpose. With relatable stories and hands-on tools, this book will help you:

• Spot and break free from the patterns of resistance that keep you stuck.
• Overcome Frozen Expertise-when what you once mastered starts weighing you down instead of lifting you up.
• Escape the Business of Busyness and focus on what actually moves you forward.
• Embrace the Grow in Beta mindset-experiment, adapt, and upgrade continuously instead of bracing for perfection.
