This Could Be Our Future

A Manifesto for a More Generous World
Book • 2019
In this book, Yancey Strickler argues that Western society is trapped by assumptions that prioritize self-interest and wealth.

He suggests that these assumptions have led to environmental collapse, corruption, inequality, and widespread dissatisfaction.

Strickler advocates for expanding the concept of value beyond financial gain to include values such as community, purpose, and sustainability.

The book offers a vision for building a more generous, fair, and sustainable society and provides a framework called Bentoism for making these changes.
