This is a self-reflection from the book The Good Ancestor- A Radical Prescription for Long-Term Thinking by Roman Krznaric. It’s based on the six ways of thinking long that the author recommends.
Deep-Time Humility:
What have been your most profound experiences of deep time, and how did they affect you?
Intergenerational Justice:
What, for you, are the most powerful reasons for caring about future generations?
Legacy Mindset:
What legacy to you want to leave for your family, your community, and for the living world?
Transcendent Goal:
What do you think should be the ultimate goal of the human species?
Holistic Forecasting:
Do you anticipate a future of civilizational breakdown, radical transformation, or a different pathway?
Cathedral Thinking:
What long-term projects could you pursue with others to extend beyond your own lifetime?
