OUR HOPES OUR FUTURE - ANDREAS M KRAFFT KARTONI...

How can we overcome crises and shape our common future? Since the beginning of the Corona
pandemic  we have all been put to an immense test. This shows how humanity can successfully and
constructively deal with such situations and make the best of them. And we learn that the
future is not something that happens to us  but that we can actively and constructively shape
it. The basic prerequisite for this is an attitude of openness  mutual helpfulness and hope.
This non-fiction book vividly reports on the currently prevailing images of the future and the
common longings as well as on people's capacity for hope and action. It reveals the power of
desirable images of the future and of a collective hope as the opposite of general helplessness
or of blind and naïve optimism. The central statements of this book are based on the
experiences of thousands of people in more than ten countries who participated in the
scientific study of the Hope Barometer in 2019 and 2020. In a unique way  this combines lived
practice with the latest findings of social science futurology  positive psychology and
pragmatic philosophy. Target groups: This book is for anyone who wants to look to the future
with hope. It offers concrete answers to key questions and shows how crises can be overcome
while shaping a better future for individuals and society as a whole. About the author: Dr.
Andreas M. Krafft teaches at the University of St. Gallen and at the Free University of Berlin.
As co-president of swissfuture  the Swiss Association for Futures Research  and as a board
member of the Swiss Society for Positive Psychology  he leads the international research
network of the Hope Barometer.
