book: Longpath by Ari Wallach (+TV: A Brief History of the Future)

 Longpath: Becoming the Great Ancestors Our Future Needs – An Antidote for Short-Termism: Wallach, Ari: 9780063068735: Amazon.com: Books

Many of the problems we face today, from climate change to work anxiety, are the result of short-term thinking. We are constantly bombarded by notifications and “Breaking News” that are overwhelming our central nervous systems, forcing us to react in the moment and ultimately disconnecting us from what truly matters. But there is a solution.

Futurist Ari Wallach offers a radical new way forward called “longpath,” a mantra and mindset to help us focus on the long view. Drawing on history, theology, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and social technologies, Longpath teaches us to:

  • Strengthen our ability to look ahead
  • Relieve reactions to stressful events
  • Increase capacity for cooperation
  • Boost creativity





Ari Wallach, most recently an adjunct associate professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and host of a new TV series titled A Brief History of the Future. We discuss the importance of learning to project our understanding of ourselves and our goals into the future, both for our own sake and for future generations. We also explore how this fosters a sense of unity and community within our species.
