Bursting: 9 Survival Principles for The Future Society
Douban score: 6.4
The more moments of major change occur, the more polarization will occur, with winners and losers sometimes just thinking about it. The future has been equipped with a completely new operating system. It was a major upgrade, and for us, a steep learning curve followed. In the era of indexes, to replace the old logic, our thinking urgently needs to be connected with the world, overturn the common sense that has become accepted by the public in the past, and learn to think differently in order to stand firm and not be involved in the torrent of history.
In Burst, Honichi Ito and Jeff Howe distill this logic into 9 principles to help people navigate this turbulent time and meet the challenges of the moment. They are: emergence over authority, pull over thrust, compass over map, risk over safety, defiance over obedience, practice over theory, diversity over ability, resilience over strength, and system over individuals.
