Krznaric, Roman, (author.).

Summary:

"This book is a call to save ourselves and our planet by targeting the root of our inaction: extreme short-sightedness. It outlines six practical ways we can retrain our brains to save our future and create a "time rebellion"-shifting our allegiance from our generation only to all humanity, present and future."-- Provided by publisher.
