“读这本书就像和一位富有创造力、乐观的朋友坐在一起,然后站起来成为一个全新的自己。”——Daniel H.Pink,《纽约时报》畅销书《什么时候》的作者
COVID-19流行病,日益频繁的气候灾害,一个新的战争事件,我们过去可能称之为“难以想象”或“不可思议”,现在是现实。今天,要感到无所畏惧、充满希望,并以乐观的态度面对未来,比以往任何时候都更具挑战性。当我们似乎无法预测下周的世界会是什么样子,更不用说明年或未来十年了,我们该如何规划我们的生活呢?我们现在需要的是帮助我们在面对不确定的未来时恢复信心和创造力的策略。
在Imaginable一书中,简·麦戈尼格尔(Jane McGonigal)借鉴了心理学和神经科学领域的最新科学研究成果,向我们展示了如何训练我们的大脑去思考不可想象的事情,想象不可想象的事情。她邀请我们玩她专为本书设计的挑衅性思维实验和未来模拟,目的是
1.建立我们的集体想象力,这样我们就可以潜入未来,以惊人的细节设想十年后我们的生活会是什么样子
2.培养创造性解决问题的勇气和远见
3.采取行动,做出有助于塑造我们渴望的未来的决定
4.获得“紧迫的乐观主义”,这是我们每个人内心不可阻挡的力量,激发我们的能动性
Imaginable教会我们要无畏、坚韧、勇敢地去实现一个充满各种可能性的世界,而这些可能性是我们在阅读这本具有变革性、启发性和必要性的书之前无法想象的。
Imaginable: How to See the Future Coming and Feel Ready for Anything—Even Things that Seem Impossible Today (AZW3)
World-renowned future forecaster, game designer, and NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Jane McGonigal gives us the tools to imagine the future without fear.
“An accessible, optimistic field guide to the future.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Reading this book is like sitting down with a creative, optimistic friend—and getting up as a new version of yourself.” – Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of When
The COVID-19 pandemic, increasingly frequent climate disasters, a new war — events we might have called “unimaginable” or “unthinkable” in the past are now reality. Today it feels more challenging than ever to feel unafraid, hopeful, and equipped to face the future with optimism. How do we map out our lives when it seems impossible to predict what the world will be like next week, let alone next year or next decade? What we need now are strategies to help us recover our confidence and creativity in facing uncertain futures.
In Imaginable, Jane McGonigal draws on the latest scientific research in psychology and neuroscience to show us how to train our minds to think the unthinkable and imagine the unimaginable. She invites us to play with the provocative thought experiments and future simulations she’s designed exclusively for this book, with the goal to
1. Build our collective imagination so that we can dive into the future and envision, in surprising detail, what our lives will look like ten years from now
2. Develop the courage and vision to solve problems creatively
3. Take actions and make decisions that will help shape the future we desire
4. Access “urgent optimism,” an unstoppable force within each of us that activates our sense of agency
Imaginable teaches us to be fearless, resilient, and bold in realizing a world with possibilities we cannot yet imagine—until reading this transformative, inspiring, and necessary book.
