Puruesh Chaudhary and our inner and outter futures

Puruesh Chaudhary is a futurist who studies trends and creates alternative scenarios for the future to drive change in the present

In this episode we talk about how biases limits our ability to anticipate the future, how feelings, not data, can impact our positivity and about structured and abstract ways of looking into the future.

I really enjoyed talking to Puruesh and I hope you will enjoy the conversation too.

Key take aways

1. It takes courage to be optimistic.
2. When one has to make a decision, one will cherry pick the data that justifies their desired outcome. Its easier to avoid bias if you are just building scenario.
3. We gather people so we can better manage their expectations. Most people don't understand their individual desires.
4. People acquire... to feel. Corporations and governments try to monopolize on how you should feel.
5. Give yourself a break! unless you are intentionally harming others, you are not responsible for world's poverty.
6. The quality of your self awareness impacts on your well being. Because that defines how you navigate your traumas.
