Charles Handy is one of the giants of contemporary thought. His books on management - including
Understanding Organizations and Gods of Management - have changed the way we view business. His
work on broader issues and trends - such as Beyond Certainty and The Second Curve - has changed
the way we view society. In his new book Handy builds on a life's work to glimpse into the
future and see what challenges and opportunities the next generation faces. How will people
cope with change in a world where the old certainties no longer apply? What goals will and
should they set themselves? How will they find purpose and fulfilment in their lives?
Clear-eyed and optimistic by turns he sets out the questions that everyone needs to ask
themselves and points us in the direction of the answers.
