Falling in Love with the Future: Rob Hopkins' Visionary New Book

Who?
Rob Hopkins, co-founder of the Transition Network movement (I bet most of you have his first book or have come across it before), has released his latest book, "How to Fall in Love with the Future". This powerful exploration invites readers to envision and create a better world.

What?
Hopkins discovered the impact of positive future thinking during shutdown pandemic. He started a podcast where guests would "time travel" to 2030 and describe their ideal world. This exercise transformed his approach to climate activism. We’re hoping he tunes into City Repair to host a visioning workshop. Incidentally, he also shared stories of communities already creating positive change through Transition initiatives! Woop!

Key Takeaways:

  • Hopkins argues that imagination is essential for creating a better future.

  • He draws on the life of musician Sun Ra and Black utopian movements to illustrate the power of visionary thinking.

  • The book offers a unique blend of history, neuroscience, and storytelling. So freaking recommended!!!
