About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

How can we be confident about making plans? How might we feel secure despite the future being unknown? How do we learn to feel at peace with the unexpected?

When we think about the future, it can be difficult to feel that we have any control. We aren't confident that we can take actions and make decisions that help determine what happens next. We want to feel prepared, hopeful and equipped and to face the future with optimism. Or, better yet, change the future. But how do we map out our lives when it feels impossible to predict what the world will be like next week, let alone next year?

Jane McGonigal, a renowned future forecaster, reveals that 'unimaginable' events aren't unimaginable before they happen. It is possible to see them coming, and it's a mindset that can be learned by engaging with tools, games and ideas that will allow you to dive into the future before you live it.

By learning to think the unthinkable and imagine the unimaginable, you can better plan for a future you'd like to see. And by seeing what's coming faster, you can adapt to new challenges, reduce anxiety and build hope and resilience.

A wonderful book challenging is to be our best selves and support each other in whatever future we find ourselves in. See you in 2033!

This book will challenge you. No doubt about it.
You will be guided to take yourself to places you might rather not go. There is no doubt you will be better for it though and hopefully you will be inspired to make the changes you want.
You might even realise that there are things right now that you want to do but felt stuck starting.

I will be recommending to everyone but certainly finding the young people in my life and sharing the book and the ideas with them.

I believe the future is what you make it, and here is the book to help you do just that.

Immersive, inspirational, Hopeful

This book was filled with ideas to ponder upon—I wish I had listened to it as part of a reading group! There is a lot to discuss in there. The main skill it teaches though, building on various case scenarios, is to be able to think about the future as part of our reality today. I highly recommend it.

Thought provoking book

This is read by an AI robot. I’ve heard that Adobe has invented a way for an AI robot to read text. However it still needs quite a bit more tweaking as this reading demonstrates.
