"A brilliant book." Markus Lanz

"The human being is the creature that has the ability to imagine the future in such detail that it can create it," writes Florence Gaub, and this is a message full of hope in these months. For rarely has the future been burdened with so many and such great uncertainties as it is today: war, climate, inflation...

Florence Gaub demonstrates with research findings from neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy how humans imagine, construct, and actually create the "future." Because that is what we are currently at risk of losing: the belief in our own power, in our ability to shape our future lives. With Florence Gaub, we gain insight and understand how we can utilize our scope for action.
