Conversations with Gen Z

This makes young people even more anxious about work and life in a rapidly changing world . Unlike previous generations, Gen Z faces challenges related to technological trends and artificial intelligence. In an era where everything is changing daily, young people are no longer certain that studying and working in a particular field will guarantee a stable future.

In light of this situation, economist Tran Si Chuong wonders: Is AI gradually rendering traditional concepts of IQ (intelligence quotient) obsolete, such as the support provided by tools like ChatGPT? Instead, he asserts that the value of an individual today depends on EQ (emotional intelligence quotient) – the ability to understand and care for others, as well as creative thinking, knowing how to ask the right questions to obtain necessary information and explore issues.

To celebrate the launch of his book "Conversations with Gen Z," author Tran Si Chuong, together with TIMES (the publisher of the book), embarked on a series of Book Tours to interact with and introduce the book, discussing contemporary issues with young people at schools and businesses across the North, Central, and South of Vietnam.

In just 10 days of October, economist Tran Si Chuong brought his "brainchild" to Hanoi ( Diplomatic Academy), Thua Thien Hue (Hue Book and Culture Club, Hue University, Hue University of Economics), Ho Chi Minh City (Van Lang University, Open University, Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics), Dong Nai (Western University)... along with numerous conversations with other organizations.

This is also one of the themes of "Conversations with Gen Z" and the Book Tour journey. When talking about Gen Z, people use the concept of "snowflakes," referring to their fragility and vulnerability to life's challenges. Understanding this, author Tran Si Chuong created the book "Conversations with Gen Z" with the desire to sit down and talk with this generation, to summarize the issues, and from there find solutions, share experiences and lessons, so that young people can consider it a guide in life and on their journey ahead.

At each point in the Book Tour, the author emphasized the importance of focusing on building inner strength. Inner strength is the inner power that gives each person the confidence to make decisions at life's turning points. Once inner strength is established, specific foundational values ​​are needed for sustainable personal development and effective work management. And as our country integrates with the world, each person needs a basic worldview to understand what is happening, where, with whom, and why.
