المستقبل | استخدام الإبداع والمعرفة لتخيل الأفضل، والاستعداد للأسوأ

A guide for both general readers and policymakers on using creativity and knowledge to imagine the best, prepare for the worst, and live with surprises. Pessimism and fear of the future are everywhere. With the future often seeming threatening and uncertain, this book offers new insights and innovative ways of thinking. Futurist Florence Gaub shows that every individual can influence what the future holds, whether in their personal life, professional life, or in society. Her ideas are directed at those who refuse to give in to fear, and look to the future as a space full of possibilities. Gaub explores how humanity's visions of the future have changed throughout history; It explains what the future is, how it works, what disturbances may arise and how to address them. It draws on insights from neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy to explain how humans envision and construct the future, as individuals and as a society. A bestseller in Germany, this clever and concise book is a huge success and serves as an antidote to passive resignation to fate. The book challenges our loss of confidence in our ability to shape the future, or how it will affect our lives. After all, we are the only beings capable of imagining the future in such precise detail that we can create it. Gaub provides a great guide to rediscovering this talent.
