Description
Original and thought provoking Gordon Brown
Challenging and hopeful: a groundbreaking guide to the future Valerie Amos
To thrive in the twenty-first century, we all need to understand the challenges coming our way. And start adapting, now.
We all know there are major, overlapping, global crises ahead of humanity: climate change, mass migration, new warfare, big tech, further pandemics, authoritarian capitalism. Rather than be daunted, Ten Survival Skills for a World in Flux charts a way that we can respond. With expertise from his work at the highest levels of international politics, education, activism, and business, Tom Fletcher offers a practical manifesto that can help us transform the way we learn, live, and work together.
Amongst its key survival skills, this book offers ideas on how we renew education, restore society, and reimagine the future. It helps us chart a course to take back control, to find purpose, and to become better ancestors. It helps us to learn the language of technology – without thinking like computers. It offers 39 steps that each of us can start to take today to boost our survivability.
Vital, practical, and accessible, this is a book about how we can anticipate the threats and opportunities of tomorrow and be ready for them – individually and collectively.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Andreas Schleicher sees Fletcher as a champion of global education, and Zeid Ra’ad lauds it as „a brilliantly-timed, incredibly important, gem of a book” filled with wisdom and hope.
