Are you struggling with purpose and anxiety about the state of the world we live in? Do you find it difficult to think long term and focus too heavily on short-term gains and goals?
We live in a world where more than ever we suffer due to short-term thinking, and in today's episode, Paul discusses this phenomenon with futurist Ari Wallach, the founder of Longpath and author of 'Longpath: Becoming The Ancestors Our Future Needs', who offers a more constructive, positive solution towards long-term thinking, and talks about the mindset shift we need to adopt in order to change our lives for the better.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Showing up in the world and being aware of how we interact with others is vital to long term thinking as it establishes a trend tab.
- We think too much about the current day or immediate future. If we envisage our story as an ancestor, it allows us to see the perspective of future generations and shows us a broader long term view of life.
- The three pillars of the Longpath mindset are Futures Thinking, Transgenerational Empathy and Alternate Aim.
- The more that people become aligned with the long term future, or Longpath, the more they think about more than themselves. This connection brings experiences, opportunities and people into life.
BEST MOMENTS
'Longpath is a way of being seen in the world'
'When we imagine ourselves as great ancestors, it elevates us out of the present moment'
'A lot of folks have some form of spiritual practice or connection that goes beyond the here and now way of thinking'
'These synchronicities can feel magical at times'
