Summary:
"A paradigm-shifting manifesto for transforming
our
thinking from reactionary
short-termism
to the long-term, widening
our
scope beyond today, tomorrow, and to even five hundred years from now to reclaim meaning in
our
lives. Many of the problems we face today, from climate change to work anxiety, are the result of short-term thinking. We are constantly bombarded by notifications and 'Breaking News' that are overwhelming
our
central nervous systems, forcing us to react in the moment and ultimately disconnecting us from what truly matters. But there is a solution. Futurist Ari Wallach offers a radical new way forward called "
longpath
," a mantra and mindset to help us focus on the long view. Drawing on history, theology, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and social technologies,
Longpath
teaches readers to strengthen their ability to look ahead, relieve reactions to stressful events, increase capacity for cooperation, and even boost creativity. Wallach challenges readers to ask themselves, 'to what end?'--what is my ultimate goal and how does my choice align with my values? And even more provocatively, Wallach challenges readers to ask 'to what end?' for civilization at large. Whether it's work, marriage, parenting, or simply trying to be a good human on the planet, framing decisions from a much larger scale creates a more fulfilling and sustainable life now and for
future
generations."--Goodreads.
