LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky and Chief Economic Opportunity Officer Aneesh Raman have released a new book titled Open to Work: How to Get Ahead in the Age of AI, published by HarperCollins and available in print, eBook, and audio formats as of March 31, 2026 (news.linkedin.com).
Drawing on insights from LinkedIn’s global network of over 1.3 billion professionals, the book offers a clear-eyed, practical roadmap for navigating the evolving world of work in the AI era (news.linkedin.com). It emphasizes that standing still is no longer an option and encourages readers to engage with AI proactively, adapt by focusing on controllable factors, and lean into what makes them uniquely human (news.linkedin.com).
The authors introduce frameworks to help readers categorize their work into three buckets: tasks AI can handle alone, tasks done in partnership with AI, and tasks that remain uniquely human—such as empathy, judgment, and creativity (publishersweekly.com). They also highlight the “5Cs” of human capability—curiosity, courage, creativity, compassion, and communication—as essential traits that AI cannot replicate (publishersweekly.com).
Aneesh Raman argues that traditional organizational structures like rigid org charts may hinder AI‑driven innovation. Instead, he advocates for worker‑led experimentation and autonomy, enabling individuals to shape their roles and careers in real time (fortune.com). The book also includes a 30‑60‑90‑day action plan to help readers begin integrating AI into their workflows and career strategies (prnewswire.com).
In interviews and podcasts, the authors reinforce that AI isn’t an existential threat to careers but an opportunity to reclaim time for higher‑order human work. Raman emphasizes that careers are being reshaped—not automated away—by those willing to act first (microsoft.com).
Open to Work has already become a New York Times bestseller, underscoring its resonance with professionals seeking clarity and agency in a rapidly changing labor market (en.wikipedia.org).
