Roman Krznaric: Meet the Author, talk and Q&A
2pm -3.30pm Sunday 19 September 2021
Quaker Meeting House, 6 Church Street
A discussion with Roman Krznaric, author of The Good Ancestor:
How to Think Long Term in a Short-Term World, on sustainability,
long term thinking and new ways of living.
In The Good Ancestor, leading public philosopher Roman Krznaric delves into history and the human mind to show that we can. 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 be good ancestors and be remembered well by the generations who follow us, 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, exploring uniquely human talents like ‘cathedral thinking’ that expand our time horizons and sharpen our foresight. Drawing on radical innovations from around the world, Krznaric celebrates the time rebels who are reinventing democracy, culture and economics so that we all have the chance to become good ancestors and create a better tomorrow.
Ticket £5 or £14 including a copy of the book. Limited availability.
