From leading philosopher Roman Krznaric, author of History for Tomorrow, an urgent call to save ourselves and our planet by getting to the root of the current crisis—society's extreme short-sightedness
As heard on NPR's TED Radio Hour
Yet Krznaric sees reason to hope. The urgent struggle for intergenerational justice calls for hugely ambitious solutions, from rewiring our growth-at-all-costs economy to giving voters of future generations a voice in our democracies. But at the heart of all these changes is one we can enact within ourselves: We must trade shortsightedness for long-term thinking. In The Good Ancestor, Krznaric reveals six practical ways we can retrain our brains to think of the long view and to shift our allegiance from this generation to all humanity—to save our planet and our future.
