Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. * A Financial Times Best Book of the Year *From former CEO and popular TED speaker Margaret Heffernan comes a timely and enlightening book that equips you with the tools you need to face the future with confidence and courage.How can we think about the future? What do we need to do-and who do we need to be?In her bold and invigorating new book, distinguished businesswoman and author Margaret Heffernan explores the people and organizations who arent daunted by uncertainty.We are addicted to prediction, desperate for certainty about the future. But the complexity of modern life wont provide that; experts in forecasting are reluctant to look more than 400 days out. History doesnt repeat itself and even genetics wont tell you everything you want to know. Tomorrow remains uncharted territory, but Heffernan demonstrates how we can forge ahead with agility.Drawing on a wide array of people and places, Uncharted traces long-term projects that shrewdly evolved over generations to meet the unpredictable challenges of every new age. Heffernan also looks at radical exercises and experiments that redefined standard practices by embracing different perspectives and testing fresh approaches. Preparing to confront a variable future provides the antidote to passivity and prediction.Ranging freely through history and from business to science, government to friendships, this refreshing book challenges us to mine our own creativity and humanity for the capacity to create the futures we want and can believe in.
