' A groundbreaking guide' Gordon Brown ' Challenging, hopeful, fresh. Read this' Valerie Amos A vital short handbook on how we respond to the crises of today and arm ourselves for the world of tomorrow. If we are going to prosper in the twenty-first century, we need to renew education, restore society, reimagine the future and be ready for the myriad challenges coming down the pipeline: climate crisis, mass migration, new warfare, technological expansion, further pandemics. To do this, we need to get better at living together, closing the gaps on social inequalities, improving our understanding of technology and learning from the past. The book will offer practical insights to focus our learnings and improve how we as individuals face the future with confidence. This book will teach us how to work more globally, how to better collaborate with others, how to approach education for a technology-driven era, how to stay curious, how to embed kindness in everything we do, how to identify and follow through on purpose.

This manual for humanity is a call to action for all of us. Read it, learn from it, act aggressively and uncompromisingly upon it, let it guide the rest of your life' s work.
