Get out of the downward spiral! Dr. Frederik G. Pferdt, Google's first head of innovation, is convinced that we need not be afraid of what the future holds. In his book, the "creative pope" (SZ) shows us what it takes to overcome our fear of the unknown and actively shape our own future. A must-read for all those who want to take the plunge and confidently create a better future. Radically courageous, creative and optimistic. We need to reawaken the spirit of the future - also in order to make the best of the present.
In conversation with Peter Felixberger, Program Director of Murmann Publishers, he shows us in concrete terms how we can get back into design mode in times of fear of decline, pessimism and uncertainty. With authentic stories from Silicon Valley and around the world, practical exercises and exciting examples from the world of innovation that show how we can all act proactively instead of just reactively.
