Courting the Future: Preparing for a Different World (Hardback)

All the dramas about 2012, from Mayan prophecies to Armageddons, seem to have left us with a view of the future merely as an extension of the past. This book doesn't start there. The author opens up a vital, new proposition - which is to court the future, to partner it, to create with it. The original essays, illustrations and meditations in the book evoke a future we may not even conceive of yet. Essays such as "A Vision of the Future" and "Whatever possessed you to do that?" are truly mind opening journeys, whilst "When Nothing Satisfies" and "Why Worry?" promote the letting go of that which prevents the future. Highly reflective, eminently practical, thoroughly enjoyable and a natural sequel to his previous book, the highly acclaimed 'Why is the Human on Earth?'
