Dan Pink, New York Times best-selling author of DRIVE wrote: “WORK THE FUTURE! TODAY is an ebullient paean to the power of story. What we need is a new story based on purpose, not on profit. With a mind toward sustaining the planet rather than just amassing money, this book guides you to finding and aligning your purpose, passion, and goals to create that new life-embracing story for yourself, your organization, and the world.”WORK THE FUTURE! TODAY, an Amazon #1 New Release in category, is about the Old Story of Profit First coming to an end and it must be replaced by the New Story of Purpose First if we are to prosper. The old triple bottom line of 'profit, people, planet' is transitioning into the new bottom line of 'planet, people, profit'. Why? It’s very simple—no planet, no people. And no people, no profit. As there is no time like now, we provide 3 sequential steps to follow your path into the new story and to achieve this transition successfully:1. PURPOSE—the why of our lives and the unique gifts we have to offer.2. PLACE—with whom and where to best share those gifts.3. PRACTICE—how and when to best share those gifts.• Our book provides leaders and readers with a pathway to accomplish these things in life, in the workplace, and in their communities.• We help readers to heal the past, release the future, and create harmony in the present.• Our book, an atlas of change, is short enough to read it flying from coast to coast with enough time left for a nap. It was designed so you can experience it on various levels with its simple graphics, powerful quotes, a detailed Table of Contents, and succinct chapter summaries. And the book is filled with tips and tools that you can use, now.• WHY are we launching this book now? Because Humankind finds itself at a fundamental, evolutionary change point. We stand at the edge of a chasm of social change greater than what we have seen in the agricultural, industrial, and technology revolutions combined. We are entering a chasm of chaos, complexity, and confusion. What used to anchor us and keep us grounded is fading. Trust in our social and business institutions is at an all-time low and anxiety at an all-time high. All the 'rules' about status, power, and politics no longer hold true for most people.• AND just why is it that you should be interested in reading WORK THE FUTURE! TODAY?1. First, is to minimize the risks you take by investing your precious time, money, and energy in planning for the future. We all make mistakes and at times plan for the wrong scenarios. WORK THE FUTURE! TODAY is a structured method to investigate different courses of action, develop contingencies, and have in place a system to recognize and act upon a wide range of 'subtle signals' such as demographic migrations or government regulatory changes. These are harbingers of what we can sense about changing events and social dynamics.2. Second, we think shifting your perspective, your worldview, helps you get a more grounded perspective. You move from being totally reactive to events around you to a stance where you are in control. With that sense of control comes a heightened sense of well-being and relaxation. Being in the moment reduces your tendency to act from an almost totally reptilian motivation to a calm, reasoned, and thought out stance—of being grounded and being prepared for the huge shifts ahead.3. Lastly, our suggested viewpoint and action platform will give you greater resilience to change because you will have consciously constructed a wider range of interconnections with others and resources. Your search time for answers will decrease; the breath of your knowledge will increase; you have a stronger trust bond with others, and you will have your own finely tuned 'future radar screen' to use today and well into the future.

His expertise on the Future of Work has been featured in four books, including a bestseller by Dan Pink. Follow him at @brandguru on Twitter. WORLD OF EXPERIENCE Whitney is half-Dutch and half-Dutch American (double Dutch). He has a world of experience having lived, studied, and worked globally--New York, Tokyo, The Hague, London, Los Angeles, and Mumbai. He currently lives in Berkeley and the Wine Country with his wife and cat. He is the proud father of two bright and beautiful daughters. Whitney's Dutch mother, grandmother, and great-grandfather are all collected painters, and he continues the family tradition and has exhibited around the world. As an author, artist, and change agent, Whitney believes in the importance of both showing and telling in his books, work, and life. ALICE IN WONDERLAND His father worked for Pan American Airways (Pan Am), which took Whitney around the world from ages six to twenty, including a transformative year in Tokyo. At that time, he was a 6 year old from the New York suburbs who couldn't contemplate living in another land. But, like a dream, there he was, in a paper house, with a traditional Japanese garden, overlooking spectacular downtown Tokyo. It was as if he was Alice and Japan was Wonderland. He has never forgotten that moment of his life when he realized Japan was his new home and life was never the same. Whitney has been looking down rabbit holes and asking "Why?" ever since. BRAND NEW WORLD Whitney is co-founder of Work The Future! Today, a pathfinding group that practices the art of the possible, well in advance, and co-founder of Brand New Purpose, a brand transformation consultancy that creates purpose-built, values-driven opportunities. CHANGE AGENT He is also an interim Chief Marketing Officer and forward-facing change agent for Fortune 20 companies and game changing Silicon Valley startups. Whitney graduated with a M.A. in Social Change from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley with a thesis on Community Building, and with a B.F.A. in Communication Design from Parsons School of Design in New York City. FUTURE... OF WORK His expertise on the Future of Work has been featured in four books, including a bestseller by Dan Pink. Whitney's next book is titled "Second Act: Creating a meaningful middle age and beyond", which will be coming out in 2018. You can find him at @brandguru and WTF! at @workfuturenow on Twitter. The WTF! site is www.workthefuture.today QUESTION FOR YOU: Are you going to CREATE your future, or, are you going to let the future CONTROL you? Your choice.

SUMMARY Dr. Charles Grantham, Co-Pathfinder, has a rich multi-disciplinary background, and pursues his passion for helping leaders, organizations, and communities realize their true potential for effective performance, governance, and sustainability. After serving in the Special Forces-no, he can't tell you about it-he enjoyed successful careers in academia and with multi-national technology companies as an Executive Director of R&D. Charlie received his Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Maryland. He has published nine books and several dozen technical papers. His last book was "ForeSight 2025," a practical guide on how to navigate the change process to prosper in the coming decade. Charlie actually worked with the original prototypes for Dilbert and the Gang... yes, all true! INTERVIEW Why do I do this? It is a calling-one to help people awaken to a greater sense of wholeness and possibility. What do I do? I work with leaders, organizations, and communities to define their intention, create inspiration, catalyze inventions, apply those innovations, continuously improve them through iteration, co-create personal and organizational transformations, and ultimately Work The Future! Today. How do I do it? Through teaching of structured thinking, scenario design, purpose, and the nature of being through discovery. This can take the form of personal coaching, guided small groups, and large world café workshops. What is it like to work with me? • "Working with a cross of Peter Drucker and the Dali Lama." ~ Rebecca, Public Sector Services • "A Zen-like learning journe." ~ Diane, Healthcare • "He's always there when you need him. A just-in-time mentor." ~ Cynthia, Financial Services My clients? • Fortune 250 Companies in financial services, real estate, technology, health care, and energy. • Academia: University of California at San Francisco, Berkeley, and Los Angeles; University of Maryland, Capella and North Central Universities. • Public Sector: States of California, Maryland, Kansas, and New Mexico; GSA, Dept. of Labor, and Dept. of Defense. • International: Sweden, Austria, and Columbia. Why is this valuable and unique? Because my work helps you clarify the unknown and undiscovered. It is unique because each engagement is distinctive in its design and delivery. My work is built upon decades of experience and learning across a wide range of cultures and experiences. What are two of my top two client impacts? • In the private sector, an end-to-end total work re-design and change management program, which earned the client a 40% return on investment. • In the public sector, the creation, design, and development of the Business Community Center concept, which was implemented in Austria, Sweden, and the mid-west US.

Derecho al desistimiento

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
