"Every new beginning is just a first step away. Do you have hopes, dreams and wishes for the future? Or even just something you have been meaning to do, or longing to achieve? Why not make a start today towards making it happen? Nothing grand, nothing onerous, just take one small action to set you on your way. Cathedrals are built one stone at a time, and although they may take generations to complete, they would not exist at all if someone hadn't been bold enough to lay the first cornerstone."This sample extract on "beginnings" is typical of this collection of philosophical prose on the art of daily living, where each page contains a reflection on a different topic. It is a celebration of the wonder of life - its magical moments and meaningful mysteries, its powerful purpose and perplexing paradoxes. In bite-size portions of inspiration, you can enjoy a feast of ideas on subjects like art and ageing, books and beginnings, dreaming and dignity, flowers and friendship, love and loss, radicals and responsibility, success and silence, travel and touch. Every page is a new window on the worlds without and within.

It was time to leave. A bitter-sweet time. The CEO felt sadness, but also contentment. The business he had conceived and birthed and nurtured was mature enough to stand on its own feet now; to live out its own life. Ironically, the way he saw it, the company was not the legacy he was leaving at all. The real value was in the way in which the business lived and breathed and kept its people engaged and passionate.That was the real gift he had given them. And that was why he was leaving behind his scruffy notebooks in the boardroom cabinet - those dog-eared, tea-stained pages on which, over the years, he had jotted down his ideas. Scrawled untidily were the lessons he had learned along the way: about how to make a business 'fit for human beings'; about how to survive in commerce and still sleep soundly at night; about how to create a company that served society, instead of the other way around. So many thoughts ...

There was no denying it any longer. Gulliver was lost - on his way to leadership school. He was a failed leader even before he began.

In 2052: A Global Forecast for the Next 40 Years (Chelsea Green, 2012), Jorgen Randers draws on his own experience in the sustainability area, global forecasting tools, and the predictions - included in the book as 'Glimpses' - of more than thirty thought leaders to guide us through the future he feels is most likely to emerge towards the middle of the century.At a meeting of 25 of the 'Glimpse' authors in Cambridge in October 2013, each participant was invited to present a 'great idea' (or thought, or development or fact) that they believed could improve on world developments over the next forty years.Disrupting the Future - Great ideas for Creating a Much Better Future is the result of this process and is a remarkable collection of ideas and proposals by a diverse set of thought-leaders, each of which has responded in their own creative way to Jorgen Randers' concluding challenge in 2052: 'Please help me make my forecast wrong. Together we could create a much better world.'
