Jack Myers
Author, media ecologist, and publisher of The Myers Report, exploring how technological change reshapes the way we think, work, and choose.
Jack Myers is an independent thinker, author, and lifelong student of change whose work explores a deceptively simple question: What is happening around us, what is it doing to us, and how do we make wiser choices about what comes next? For more than five decades, Jack has studied the forces reshaping people, institutions, culture, media, business, and society. His perspective was shaped early by studying media ecology with Neil Postman at New York University and deepened through a career spent at the intersection of technological change and human behavior. Jack has advised and worked with many of the world’s leading companies and executives, including Disney, Microsoft, General Motors, Warner Bros. Discovery, Hallmark, and Paramount/CBS. But his work today is less about predicting the future than understanding our relationship with change: what we embrace, what we surrender, what we preserve, and what we choose for ourselves. He is the author of eight books, including Your Third Brain: Powering a Future of Unimagined Possibilities, The Tao of Leadership, and GenNexus: The Future of Being. Across his writing, Jack explores how accelerating technology is changing not only what humans can do, but how we think, learn, create, work, relate to one another, and define what has value. For more than four decades, he has shared his independent perspective through The Myers Report, now published on Substack. Rather than adding more information to an already overwhelmed world, Jack connects ideas that are too often considered separately, questions assumptions that have hardened into conventional wisdom, and explores what deserves our attention and participation. A Peabody Award recipient, Academy Award nominee, and TEDWomen speaker, Jack brings to his writing and conversations the perspective of someone who has lived through multiple eras of technological and cultural transformation while remaining deeply curious about the one constant within them: the human capacity to choose. His work does not offer a formula for the future. It asks a more useful question: How do we understand what is happening around us and to us, make wiser choices, and remain authors of what comes next?
