Floris Books, 2024

Nothing is more unpredictable than the future of humanity and our world. But even in the face of such uncertainty, is it still possible to develop trust in the future? In this thought-provoking book, Bastiaan Baan explores the many ways in which humanity has tried to predict the future down through the ages, from old forms of clairvoyance to more modern methods based on technical expertise. He looks at ancient mythologies, the visionary practices of prophets and shamans, and the sublime if often terrifying images found in the Book of Revelation. Drawing on the work of Rudolf Steiner, he attempts to interpret their imaginative language and identify the impulses at work in present-day humanity. Baan argues that while predicting the future may be impossible, how we view events can be just as important, if not more so, than the events themselves. He suggests that adopting a more positive and open attitude can be a necessary first step in taking action. Trust in the Future will speak to all those who ask themselves 'What can I do?' to build a better future.
