Glad you enjoyed it. We could all do with a bit of radical hope in these times.

Delighted to hear it Veronika!

Sure!

Great to see History for Tomorrow chosen as a top Summer Pick by one of my favourite bookshops @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/booklists/da... @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

This is one of the best books I've read this year.

Vital reading, and highly recommended!

If you're searching for inspiration in these extraordinarily challenging times, look to the possibilities that history holds. This deeply thought-provoking book by my favourite social philosopher (yes he's my partner) is now out in paperback. A powerful summer read awaits @romankrznaric.bsky.social

It's paperback launch day for HISTORY FOR TOMORROW!
'Enlightening and thrilling' - @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
'Brimming with ideas' - @peterfrankopan.bsky.social

Really glad you both enjoyed the talk. Hope the book provides food for thought!

I spoke to 700 of the world's top chefs in Copenhagen recently at MAD7, the food symposium created by Noma restaraunt founder Rene Redzepi. This is what I told them about the art of long-term thinking and the 100-year-old Japanese robe I'm wearing.

Going through old notes from my book The Good Ancestor, here's a graphic I never used but which is important today: there's a strong correlation between good long-term public policy (intergenerational solidarity) and the degree of political decentralisation www.romankrznaric.com/good-ancesto...

“History offers us an antidote to the idea of an inevitable clash of civilizations” - of war, xenophobia, violence. But we need to look both to the future and the past right now as climate migration increases. #cordoba www.ted.com/talks/roman_... @kateraworth.bsky.social @romankrznaric.bsky.social

Thank you. Great article on the record non-violent protest from federal workers!

"Many people are quick to criticise today's radical nonviolent climate movements like Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, but let's remember that they are part of long traditions of successful disruptive movements."
