About the Book

In the 21st century, we are living in uniquely challenging times. We are confronted with more complex and critical problems than ever before, spanning population and poverty, pollution and environment, financial and economic stability, and political security. The dilemmas we face as individuals and societies are not only complex and systemic, but will have far-reaching consequences for the generations that come after us. And while it is clear that we need to make some critical decisions about the way we live and the values we live by if we are going to have anything of value to leave the next generation, much of what is currently available on the topic is highbrow, overly intellectualized and/or downright depressing. In Crunch Time two highly accomplished journalists and graduates of the London Business School, take a fresh, no holds barred look at the forces that impact on our world and create a framework that will allow us to live more principled, meaningful and purposeful lives without having to sell up all our worldly goods or join a commune. Intelligent without being alienating, well-sourced and credible without being academic, Crunch Time explores the big issues while looking at their practical implications for everyday life. Believing that living in the 21st century means being answerable to the future, Crunch Time offers ways of engaging with what is to come in a way that will make the world a better place.
