We live in an era of immediate needs and short-term thinking. Global corporations are willing to do anything to meet the growing demands of shareholders, natural resources are being spent with unprecedented speed, and politicians are discussing the use of nuclear weapons. And what will remain for our descendants? Not abstract future generations, but our grandchildren and great-grandchildren? Will we leave them a safe, comfortable world or lifeless ashes? In his book, philosopher and sociologist Roman Krzhnarik explains how to ensure that future generations can consider us good ancestors, establish a personal empathic connection with people with whom we may not be destined to meet and whose life we can hardly imagine. It offers six conceptual and practical ways to develop long-term thinking, forming the basis for creating a new, more conscious world order that paves the way for a culture of long time horizons and responsibility for the future. And although the reader is unlikely to be able to influence the fate of all mankind, everyone can make a contribution to a good future for our descendants.
