Oprichter van The School of Life Londen over hoe we verder kunnen kijken dan onze eigen generatie lang is. De grote problemen van onze tijd gaan allemaal terug op één ding: we denken alleen aan de korte termijn. Dat denken koloniseert de toekomst. Je ziet het in het bedrijfsleven, de politiek en het persoonlijk leven. Zo ontstaat steeds meer ongelijkheid tussen bevolkingsgroepen en nemen existentiële dreigingen toe. We staan aan de rand van de afgrond. Toch is er hoop, volgens Roman Krznaric. Om goede voorouders te worden moeten we onder meer onze economie en politiek radicaal omvormen – een enorme opgave. Maar onder die ambitieuze doelen ligt iets wat we zelf kunnen doen: onze kortzichtigheid inruilen voor langetermijndenken. Krznaric onthult zes praktische manieren om onze hersenen hierin bij te scholen. Dan verschuiven we de loyaliteit van onze eigen generatie naar de hele mensheid, en kunnen we onze planeet en onze toekomst redden. De belangrijkste vraag die we onszelf moeten stellen is: ‘Zijn we een goede voorouder?’ 'Krznaric is uitgegroeid tot een van de meest prominente stemmen in de filosofische en politieke beweging die pleit voor meer langetermijndenken. ' - NRC 'In De goede voorouder verzamelt Krznaric prachtige ideeën [...] Zeer leesbaar en hoopgevend.' - Trouw 'Een indrukwekkend boek.' - Knack

The Designing Environments book series addresses questions regarding necessary environmental transformation in the context of the fast-unfolding environmental crisis. This is done from a broad interdisciplinary perspective, examining the negative impact of human transformations of the environment and providing different inroads towards sustainable environmental transformation with net positive impact. Volume one of the Designing Environments book series brings together experts from different disciplines and often inter- and transdisciplinary contexts, who discuss specific approaches to overcoming the negative impact of the transformation of environments by humans. Across the 12 chapters of volume one, specific keywords recur that are indicative of shared insights and concerns. These include Anthropocene, climate change, complexity, critical zone, ecosystem services, and sustainability. Furthermore, interdisciplinary approaches to human–environment interactions, sustainability transitions, and socio-ecological systems take center stage and are discussed in relation to conceptual and methodological as well as societal and technological challenges and opportunities.

There are many ways to try to improve our lives - we can turn to the wisdom of philosophers, the teachings of religions or the latest experiments of psychologists. But we rarely to look to history for inspiration - and when we do it can be surprisingly powerful. Showing the lessons that can be learned from the past, cultural historian Roman Krznaric explores twelve universal topics, from work and love to money and creativity, and reveals the wisdom that we've been missing. There is much to be learned from Ancient Greece on relationships, from the industrial revolution on job satisfaction, and from Ming-dynasty China on bringing up our children. Just as a Renaissance 'Wunderkammer' was a curiosity cabinet full of fascinating objects, each with a story behind it, The Wonderbox is full of stories and ideas from history, each of which sheds invaluable light on the decisions we make every day, whether we think about the different uses of the senses or changing attitudes to time. History is usually read for pleasure or for insight into current affairs, but The Wonderbox, stepping into the territory of Alain de Botton and Theodore Zeldin, is 'practical history' - using the past to think about our day to day lives.

Urban planning practice will undergo significant changes in the upcoming decades, due to major changes and challenges the world has to deal with, such as loss of biodiversity loss, climate change impacts, agricultural transformation, water management issues and health. The way the urban professional has to relate to this new order is explored in this book by collecting a series of conversational chapters with local, regional, national and international experts in the fields of urban planning and design, urban and building development, building and construction industry, architecture, governments and academia. The unification of a desirable future with real world processes such as economic and decision-making practice is key. Moreover, the attitude of the future urban professional will more and more shift from an expert in a specific field to a communicative advisor in complex processes.

Toekomstbedrijven neemt je mee in de absurditeit van het aandeelhoudersmodel en plofbedrijven, én presenteert de helden van de toekomst: stewards. Een idealistische startup die voor de hoofdprijs verkocht wordt, maar zijn missie totaal uit het oog verliest. Een bevlogen ceo die wil verduurzamen, maar wordt afgestraft door beleggers. Langetermijndenken lijkt in het bedrijfsleven ver te zoeken, met grote gevolgen voor volgende generaties. Dit roept de vraag op: wie staat er in een bedrijf eigenlijk aan het roer? Bij de meeste bedrijven liggen zowel eigendom als zeggenschap bij aandeelhouders, waardoor snelle winstmaximalisatie vaak de prioriteit heeft. Bij steward-owned bedrijven staan niet aandeelhouders, maar stewards aan het roer. Stewards zijn zorgdragers: ze zorgen ervoor dat het bedrijf op de lange termijn beter presteert én zijn missie kan waarmaken. En dat werkt: succesvolle bedrijven als Rolex, Carlsberg, tbi en Bosch zijn in handen van stewards. Toekomstbedrijven neemt je mee in de absurditeit van het aandeelhoudersmodel en plofbedrijven, én presenteert de helden van de toekomst: stewards.

Pulitzer Prize–winning literary critic Michiko Kakutani shares 100 personal, thought-provoking essays about books that have mattered to her and that help illuminate the world we live in today—with beautiful illustrations throughout. “A book tailormade for bibliophiles.”—Oprah Winfrey “An ebullient celebration of books and reading.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) In the introduction to her new collection of essays, Ex Libris: 100+ Books to Read and Reread, Michiko Kakutani writes: “In a world riven by political and social divisions, literature can connect people across time zones and zip codes, across cultures and religions, national boundaries and historical eras. It can give us an understanding of lives very different from our own, and a sense of the shared joys and losses of human experience.” Readers will discover novels and memoirs by some of the most gifted writers working today; favorite classics worth reading or rereading; and nonfiction works, both old and new, that illuminate our social and political landscape and some of today’s most pressing issues, from climate change to medicine to the consequences of digital innovation. There are essential works in American history (The Federalist Papers, The Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.); books that address timely cultural dynamics (Elizabeth Kolbert’s The Sixth Extinction, Daniel J. Boorstin’s The Image, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale); classics of children’s literature (the Harry Potter novels, Where the Wild Things Are); and novels by acclaimed contemporary writers like Don DeLillo, William Gibson, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Ian McEwan. With richly detailed illustrations by lettering artist Dana Tanamachi that evoke vintage bookplates, Ex Libris is an impassioned reminder of why reading matters more than ever.

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. Hoe kunnen we ons een weg banen door dit alles? Terwijl politici vastzitten in het nu, pleit Krznaric in Geschiedenis voor morgen voor een blik achterwaarts om de toekomst vorm te geven. Hij put hoopvolle lessen uit de geschiedenis om deze crises te overwinnen en onthult hoe het verleden niet alleen ons begrip van gisteren verdiept, maar ook onze relatie met de toekomst herdefinieert. Over eerder werk: 'Een van de meest prominente stemmen in de filosofische en politieke beweging die pleit voor meer langetermijndenken' – NRC Handelsblad 'Krznaric is een filosoof die grote ideeën wil laten landen bij een groot publiek, het liefst op een speelse manier' – De Groene Amsterdammer 'Wakkert je verbeelding aan' – Flow Magazine 'Roman Krznaric verzamelt prachtige ideeën.
