Amazon Bestseller
Tired of all the doom and gloom? What Could Go Right invites you to ditch cynicism about the future, and build the one you want.
Instead of worst-case scenarios or Pollyanna optimism, you can envision an ideal world and be empowered to build it. The opportunity of our era is to transition to a sustainable, equitable, abundant global economy. Rethink your mindset, understand tech and social trends, & design a future you want to live in, you can thrive through building a better future for us all.
Packed with insights, tools, and ideas for what an ideal future might look like and how to build it, What Could Go Right helps you rethink:
Your Mindset: Rather than accepting dystopian tropes about our future, we'll look at the reality of our current time as the most abundant and empowered humanity has ever been-and witness it getting better. You'll explore tools and frameworks like Design Thinking, Three Horizons, Five Dynamics, to turn inspiration into pragmatic thinking, planning, and execution.
Trends and Opportunities: Explore the empowering tools, sustainable shifts in industry and technology, and social evolutions that are making a more equitable, distributed, democratic, cleaner economy possible. The economic, climate, and social crises around us are accelerating the urgency for change and are inspiring innovators to create new tools and approaches-all to make the transition to a better future.
Your Vision of a Better Future: Start imagining what an ideal future might look like by making the most of existing technology and knowledge. With thought leaders and industry experts, you'll tour a future that is abundant, a Zero Marginal Cost Society, post-scarcity, and Omni-Thriving. Apply Maslow's hierarchy of personal needs to social needs.
"We don't get the world we want simply by fighting the one we don't. We get the world we want by envisioning, designing, and building it."

Goodreads review by David

Published in 2022, this is very much a book that will resonate with Futurists, and with people who like to think about the future (unconstrained by the many realities of human life). I liked the optimistic approach to our future, and the can-do attitude from the author. The philosophy of holistic pol......more

Goodreads review by Lauren

Justin Bean has brought calm to the chaos. Whenever I've tried to talk with people about what we can do to pool our ideas and create a better future, I'm sorry to say, it nearly always breaks down into an us and them heated debate with relatively no one listening. We can't do anything about the futur......more
