From FutureShock to PolyCrisis
Managing our Mental Health in the Future
We are more aware of the importance of our mental health than we have ever before, and just in time, as we face unprecedented threats to our state of mind.
The exponential nature of change and the intersection of so many perceived threats is not conducive to coping, let alone thriving, in the world today. We need new approaches to our mental health.
Overturning Shock and Crisis
In the 52 years since Toffler’s book was first published, the world has changed even more than he imagined, and the immediate effect of the interactions of seemingly unconnected crises has an impact on everything.
We have moved from a linear, local world, through an exponential, global world to a quantum world.
Developing a futures thinking mindset is the best response to our increasingly complex world. Without an intentional approach to how we think about the future, we remain buffeted by change instead of having power to craft our own preferred futures.
