These four accelerating trends are rapidly diminishing the value of nearly everything we hold dear—our organizations, communities, homes, political and legal systems, careers, and even our children’s future. Everything is at stake. This book is not a blueprint for an ideal future—because anyone claiming to know exactly what that future should look like misunderstands the complexity of the challenges we face. Instead, it offers a practical guide to navigating the profound change these trends demand. It presents a process for those ready to reinvent the parts of the world they can influence. If enough of us rise to this challenge, we can create a far better future. Many have already begun—but not nearly enough. We are in a race against time, and currently, we are losing. But we don’t have to. Join me in shaping the world we want to leave for future generations.
