A future in which society has transformed beyond the mere avoidance of collapse and is truly thriving..
Most importantly, her book teaches us What systemic changes humanity still has time to make to achieve a better tomorrow.
Herington lays out why business as usual is not a viable option for Global society and identifies the root cause of this unsustainable path.
Herrington also elaborates more in this book on the many interlinkages between our economic, environmental, and social predicaments, and on What her findings indicate for future Global developments.
Her book Five Insights for Avoiding Global Collapse contains an exclusive research update based on 2022 data and is written in a more personable and accessible style than the journal article.
