Roman Krznaric

¿Cómo podemos ser buenos antepasados? Vivimos en la era de la tiranía del ahora, impulsada por las noticias 24 horas al día, el último tuit y el botón de comprar ya. Con un cortoplacismo tan frenético en la raiz de las crisis contemporaneas -desde las amenazas del cambio climatico hasta la falta de planificacion para una pandemia mundial-, la llamada al pensamiento a largo plazo crece cada dia. Pero ¿que es? ¿Ha funcionado alguna vez? y ¿podemos hacerlo? En El buen ancestro, el destacado filosofo Roman Krznaric se adentra en la historia y la mente humana para demostrar que si podemos. Desde las piramides hasta el Servicio Nacional de Salud, la humanidad siempre ha tenido la capacidad innata de planificar para la posteridad y tomar medidas que resonaran durante decadas, siglos e incluso milenios. Si queremos ser buenos antepasados y que nos recuerden bien las generaciones que nos siguen, ahora es el momento de recuperar y enriquecer esta habilidad imaginativa. El buen ancestro revela seis formas profundas en las que todos podemos aprender a pensar a largo plazo, explorando talentos exclusivamente humanos como el "pensamiento catedralicio" que amplian nuestros horizontes temporales y agudizan nuestra prevision. Basandose en innovaciones radicales de todo el mundo, Krznaric celebra a los rebeldes del tiempo que estan reinventando la democracia, la cultura y la economia para que todos tengamos la oportunidad de convertirnos en buenos antepasados y crear un mañana mejor.

This is the book our childrens children will thank us for reading The Edge, U2How can we be good ancestors?From the first seeds sown thousands of years ago, to the construction of the cities we still inhabit, to the scientific discoveries that have ensured our survival, we are the inheritors of countless gifts from the past. Today, in an age driven by the tyranny of the now, with 24/7 news, the latest tweet, and the buy-now button commanding our attention, we rarely stop to consider how our actions will affect future generations. With such frenetic short-termism at the root of contemporary crises, the call for long-term thinking grows every day but what is it, has it ever worked, and can we even do it? In The Good Ancestor, leading public philosopher Roman Krznaric argues that there is still hope. From the pyramids to the NHS, humankind has always had the innate ability to plan for posterity and take action that will resonate for decades, centuries, even millennia to come. If we want to become good ancestors, now is the time to recover and enrich this imaginative skill. The Good Ancestor reveals six profound ways in which we can all learn to think long-term, exploring how we can reawaken oft-neglected but uniquely human talents like cathedral thinking that expand our time horizons and sharpen our foresight. Drawing on radical solutions from around the world, Krznaric celebrates the innovators who are reinventing democracy, culture and economics so that we all have the chance to become good ancestors and create a better tomorrow.

Carpe diem, seize the day, is one of the oldest pieces of life advice in Western history. But its true spirit has been hijacked by ad men and self-help gurus, reduced to the instant hit of one-click online shopping, or slogans like live in the now. We need to reclaim it to make sense of our complex, confusing times.The last great expression of carpe diem was in the electrifying existential philosophy of the 1940s. Today it is an idea that challenges us to confront our mortality and live with greater passion and intention, rather than scrolling mindlessly on our phones or allowing freedom to become a mere choice between brands.In Carpe Diem Regained , Roman Krznaric reinvents existentialism for our age of information and choice overload. An essential and empowering work of contemporary philosophy, the book unveils the surprising ways of seizing the day that humankind has discovered over the centuries, ways we urgently need to revive.Carpe diem is the existentialism for our times.
