This book is a collection of the author's management essays and reading notes. It is divided into three parts to explain the challenges brought by the development of society and technology to organizational management and possible solutions. Most of the articles included in the first part, "Future and Today," discuss the roles and functions of managers and employees when "the future is already here" (robots, unmanned stores, and the spread of the Internet). The articles in the second part "Rationality and Emotion" mainly include two categories: one is about rational practice and thinking in organizational management, and the other is about the grasp of human emotions in work and life. The third part, "Ancient and Modern," is a record of the author's study visit to the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, which focuses on the initiatives of the world's oldest university to continuously advance with the times and create knowledge and ideas for mankind.

In the form of essays, this book describes the author's detailed observations and insights into daily work and life, as well as his in-depth exploration of the inner world. The writing is unique and delicate, the emotions are sincere and frank, and the pictures are novel and imaginative. It flows smoothly and easily, and I believe that after reading this book, the readers' understanding of life and the world will be raised to a new level.

This book collects management thoughts, book reviews, essays and travel notes written by the author in the past two years. As an outstanding scholar of organizational management, the editor-in-chief of the world's top psychology magazine, and the deputy dean of a well-known American business school, Professor Chen Xiaoping's unique observation perspective, depth of thought, and keen and detailed experience of life are highlighted in every article in this book. Some of these articles are warm and friendly, some are sharp, some are fresh and simple, some are humorous, some are sad and moving, and some are thorough. They not only easily allow readers to enter the author's inner world, but also bring readers a multi-dimensional and multi-level experience.
