The Future of Work, US, and Everything! What if the greatest upgrade you could make isn’t to your phone, your home, or your career—but to your own self?In this thought-provoking TEDx, Dr. Yazan Hijazi challenges us to see beyond the noise of rapid technological disruption and climate crisis, and instead ignite a system-wide transformation that begins within. Drawing from his journey across science, entrepreneurship, and global leadership, Yazan unpacks why old mental maps fail us in a world remade by AI, complexity, and uncertainty.Blending stories, science, and radical questions, he reveals three essential dimensions and five timeless human skills that empower us not just to adapt, but to flourish. From self-awareness to co-creation with AI, Yazan makes the case that the future of work—and the future of us—demands a wisdom rooted in love, humility, and interdependence.Ready to upgrade what matters most—your humanity?
