Synopsis:
The Dao of Foresight offers a thoughtful exploration of how ancient philosophical principles can inform modern approaches to strategy, anticipation, and long-term thinking. Drawing inspiration from Daoist ideas, the book reframes foresight not as prediction or control, but as an adaptive, reflective practice rooted in awareness, balance, and responsiveness to change. It examines how individuals and organizations can better navigate uncertainty by cultivating sensitivity to emerging patterns, embracing flexibility, and aligning action with context. Blending philosophy with contemporary foresight thinking, the book invites readers to slow down, observe deeply, and engage with the future in a more sustainable and humane way.
