Abstract
Book review: The Good Ancestor: How to think long term in a short-term world, by Roman Krznaric
Highlights
As educators, we can get too focused on the current academic year and the near future, neglecting our responsibility for the long future
Roman Krznaric is a public philosopher who writes on a range of topics, including empathy and its power to change society
He explores our current tendency to short-term thinking and our increasing collective need for long-term thinking to address global challenges. His central argument that people must focus much more on what we leave for future generations provides food for thought for all educators
