It will open your mind and horizons - and leave you giddy at the prospect of all that we may yet become.'Tom Chatfield, author of How to Think'Hope-filled and revelatory ... Beautifully readable and scholarly, rich and personal, this book shows how, to leave a robust legacy for the future, we need to overcome our bias for the present.'Rowan Hooper, author of How to Spend a Trillion Dollars'A soaring hymn to all that might lie in the future; alongside the diverse and beautiful ways to think about it. Overflowing with wisdom and insight.'Thomas Moynihan, author of X-Risk'Few books can claim to shake your perspective on life, but The Long View does exactly that ... a landmark book that could help to build a much brighter future for many generations to come.'David Robson, author of The Expectation Effect'The Long View is a manifesto calling for a radical reconception of our relationship with time.
