Long-term thinking and planning is such an ingrained part of everyday life that we tend either not to see it or merely take it for granted. From pensions, retirements, holiday planning, marriage (or divorce) to corporate strategy and choosing the right school for our kids―the assumptions we make about tomorrow tend to be sketchy at best! Why do we so often underplay such important future plans in our lives? One of the main reasons is that we have never been given the right tools with which to think and plan ahead. Futurology-the arto f thinking ahead―has often been relegated to science fiction writers and witch doctors. In fact, it’s a tool that can actually help us understand and plan for a better future for ourselves. This book, by a leading futurologist, presents the practical tools of long-term thinking and planning to the everyday situations that we all face.

The Future Book: 40 Ways to Future-Proof Your Work and Life (Concise Advice Lab)

We live in times of great change. Or so we are told. Headlines blast messages about clashes between tribes, civilizations, political factions, East and West. We are told that unless we abstain from eating meat, flying or enjoying other modern amenities, the planet is doomed. We live in times of trouble. Of crossroads. Of signs of decline. We live in special times. In turn, future thinking is often reduced to people having opinions about other people's opinions. As opposed to manifesto, in manifesto many small ideas are created to inspire one person, your-self. By sharing the vision of the future, we can avoid telling stories and instead strive to surround ourselves with as many strange, conflicting ideas that we can in order to immerse ourselves in future possibilities and possible futures. Incorporating recognizable examples, 'Minifesto' will illustrate how the world changes when a single individual does something new.

Minifesto: Why Small Ideas Matter in the World of Grand Narratives

A crisis can happen at any time, to any person or organization. You could lose your job or your partner. A company could lose its market or simply lose its way. And as recent times has demonstrated, the world as we knew it can be lost too. This is when we find ourselves at Year Zero - a strange, new place that can feel frightening and unknown. But it can also be the first step into a new world with new possibilities. We cannot avoid crises in our lives, businesses and societies. But we can learn how to reset and bounce back from a crisis. And not the same place, but to something bigger, better or, at least, different. The clues about how this can be accomplished lay hidden in case studies, psychological research, corporate storytelling, personal anecdotes and historical documents. Magnus Lindkvist is the interdisciplinary detective in search of these clues, and in doing that, he provides insights, tools and solace for any person or organization seeking to reset and bounce back.
