In the age beyond globalization, when even Mars will be inhabited in a few years’ time, the earth’s resources are becoming ever scarcer. Soon, it won’t matter how much money you have; it still won’t be enough. All that will matter is YOU — the scarcest resource of all. For the sake of the planet, and for your own happiness and success, it’s time to invest heavily in your YOU-capital. Here’s how and why.
Micael Dahlen is a professor at the Stockholm School of Economics. In his academic career, he rose rapidly to take up a leading position in the field of consumer behavior, creativity, and marketing.
