Greetings everyone, 👉 Today is a big day: my new short film “The Good Future” (12.5 minutes) is going live at 5pm CET, 8am PST - in approx. 90 minutes:) We shot the film in beautiful Lanzarote (Canary Islands) in April and May 2021, and I think you’ll really enjoy the amazing footage of the unique landscape and scenery (in addition to my pontifications, I hope). In a nutshell, the film is about defining what a ‘good future’ would be, and how we (people, organisations, leaders) could go about creating it - but you can read all about it in the deep-linked transcript version, here on my website (scroll down to the end of the page). 👀 Join me for the world premiere on Youtube TODAY at 5pm CET, 8am PST, 11 am EST, 4pm UK, 8.30 pm India, 11pm Singapore. I’ll be there watching with you and will answer any comments or questions you may have, in the live chat. (Before 5pm CET this link will show the trailer only *but note the special Vimeo link for you, below!). Have a look at the images below to get a good idea what my film looks like, or browse the brand-new film page on my blog for more images, infographics and behind-the-scenes footage. See you soon, I hope, and thanks for being a subscriber! Live long and prosper, and cheers from Zurich

The Good Future: my new short film on why #TheGoodFuture is entirely possible

If you can't join me at 5pm CET, you can watch my new film NOW, via Vimeo, before anyone else gets to see it 👍
Right now, we have both the sub-titled and the non-subtitled versions ready to go for you! The YT link (once live) will have captions in 12 languages. |
👉 More about "The Good Future" Film
Here is what you’ll see in this film: I first speak about why we are at such a crucial moment in human history right now, why our current economic story and logic won’t work in the future, and why we need to move from a focus on profit and growth to a focus on people, planet, purpose and prosperity. I then describe what a Good Future could actually look like, and depict 5 scenarios on food, energy, education, healthcare and work. Then, I talk about what leaders in business and politics can do to create a Good Future, suggesting 4 action items, followed by a segment on what you and I as individuals can do. The film wraps up with this key message: The good future is entirely possible and it’s our choice. The only question is: Are you going to be part of it?

“Some of us are cynics and have a low opinion of humanity—that people are mostly bad and innately selfish. Yet research supports the opposite view. It was survival of the friendliest, not the fittest, that caused Homo sapiens to rise to where we are today.” Read his book! |

Uma Conversa: Inspiring, powerful conversation w/ #Futurist Gerd Leonhard #TheGoodFuture (PT Subs)
Este é um vídeo muito especial filmado na minha sala aqui em Zurique / Suíça, num ambiente muito pessoal e intimista. Numa conversa com o meu produtor reflito sobre o tema do meu próximo filme (que será rodado na bela Lanzarote / Ilhas Canárias em Maio deste ano) intitulado O BOM FUTURO, tais como: Que tipo de método devo usar para encontrar e formular as minhas principais previsões e como posso ‘voltar do futuro’? Porque é que eu acho que o futuro é uma MENTALIDADE e não um período de tempo…
