There’s no need to despair. But there is a burning need to get started on the transformation.

Geschiedenis voor morgen
Populaire filosoof Roman Krznaric, bekend van De goede voorouder, laat zien hoe lessen uit het verleden onze helpen bij het vormgeven van de toekomst. De ineenstorting van welvaartsstaten, supercyclonen, megadroogtes, extreemrechts extremisme, ongebreidelde virussen, energietekorten, cyberaanvallen: de mensheid beweegt zich richting een tijdperk van permanente crisis.

Hij put hoopvolle lessen uit de geschiedenis om deze crises te overwinnen en onthult hoe het verleden niet alleen ons begrip van gisteren ve...
Models, Myths, and Muddles
Can Humanity Survive Stone-Age Thinking? We face an array of dangers from global warming, nuclear proliferation, oil addiction, water shortages, and more. But common responses are denial, blame, the quick-fix, or other poor mental strategies, rigid ideologies, and escape into other realities. In Models, Myths, and Muddles, Coralie Koonce describes how current thinking falls short. "We seem to be moving backward just when we need to take a giant step forward." But humans can solve the problems humans created. Koonce presents the skills of critical thinking as one answer and species consciousness as another. This is the first of three books in the series Thinking Toward Survival.
