To survive and thrive in the 21st century, we all must understand the challenges we face. And adapt. Now.
Major crises threatening humanity are multiplying: climate change, pandemics, mass migrations, technological tsunamis, new wars... Rather than being discouraged, Tom Fletcher charts the way forward to address them.
Inspired by the stories of a wide range of figures, from Barack Obama to Malala Yousafzai, this action manual outlines ten keys to successfully regaining control over a world in disarray, finding a common goal to strive for, and becoming "better ancestors" to future generations.
