New Book Collaboration: Disciplines of Hope


Hey friends and followers,


This is a critical time to look from the future back to the present. The present is noisy, uncertain, and often overwhelming.


As the world has become more turbulent, the demand for Institute for the Future's foresight work has only grown. In response to this moment, we are excited to announce that our new book, Disciplines of Hope: Generating Faith in the Future for an Anxious Age, is now available for pre-order.


Amazon pre-orders have become one of the most important factors in a book's success, helping increase visibility, reach new readers, and amplify its impact. If our work has been meaningful to you, we would be grateful if you would pre-order a copy today.

Disciplines of Hope: Generating Faith in the Future for an Anxious Age


Below is a taste of the new book, which explores deeply the themes coming out of our latest forecasts. In such a troubling time, positive futures will be so important.


To make better futures, we need new disciplines for hope in action that you perform, repeatedly, together—not hope or faith that you simply have or don’t have. This book shows you how to generate your own discipline of hope and grow your faith in the future.

Chapter 1: A New Compass for Seeding Hope 


Chapter 2: The Future Terrain We Must Navigate 


Chapter 3: Faith Traditions—Gifts and Harm 


Chapter 4: Varieties of Faith and Hope—Keep the Gifts; Refuse the Harm 


Chapter 5: A Surprising New Use for the Generative AI Medium 


Chapter 6: Human Generativity Augmented by Generative AI 


Chapter 7: The Wisdom of Leadership with Hope 


Chapter 8: Personal Coping, Meaning, and Resilience

Quotes

  • "Christianity is not a theory or speculation, but a life; not a philosophy of life, but a life and a living process." Samuel Taylor Coleridge
  • "Most people are willing to take the Sermon on the Mount as a flag to sail under, but few will use it as a rudder by which to steer." Oliver Wendell Holmes
  • "Perfection, in a Christian sense, means becoming mature enough to give ourselves to others." Kathleen Norris
  • "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can." John Wesley
  • "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried." G. K. Chesterton
  • "One of our great allies at present is the Church itself. Do not misunderstand me. I do not mean the Church as we see her spread out through all time and space and rooted in eternity, terrible as an army with banners. That, I confess, is a spectacle which makes our boldest tempters uneasy. But fortunately it is quite invisible to these humans." C. S. Lewis
  • "When we say, 'I love Jesus, but I hate the Church,' we end up losing not only the Church but Jesus too. The challenge is to forgive the Church. This challenge is especially great because the church seldom asks us for forgiveness." Henri Nouwen, Bread for the Journey
  • "Christians are hard to tolerate; I don't know how Jesus does it." Bono
  • "It's too easy to get caught in our little church subcultures, and the result is that the only younger people we might know are Christians who are already inside the church." Dan Kimball
