Longpath. Becoming the great ancestors our future needs : an antidote for short-termism / Ari Wallach. by Wallach, Ari. HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, 2022. Call #: 153.45 W195L Subjects Thought and thinking.   Decision making.   Planning.   Mindfulness (Psychology)   Consciousness. ISBN:  9780063068735 (hc.) Alternate title:  Becoming the great ancestors our future needs : an antidote for short-termism Edition:  1st ed. Description:  190 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 183-188). 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.
