More about the book

Most of the time we look at the past and the present to describe what we think the future might bring - and in doing so we use all of our experience about what can go wrong to extrapolate possible pictures of how it could blow up. Turning this into a narrative about the future is dangerous - our subconscious does not differentiate between what is desirable and what is not - it takes all input at face value and helps us achieve it. Even if this is something we don't want. We need a positive narrative of how we want to live in balance with this planet and ten billion people and the rest of nature. We need a narrative that guides the way out of the current - apparently broken - paradigm into a new one that allows us and the planet to thrive. This book is a contribution to the global conversation of developing such a narrative and action guide.
