Beginning with these fundamental questions, this book explains the meaning and purpose of professions while introducing a new philosophy for the Age of AI. Through the vision of THE RUN AT 150 PROJECT, it places health, happiness, healthy longevity, lifelong learning, creativity, responsibility, and human-centered progress at the heart of professional life.
