Future Kind

How do we raise a generation who will effect positive change in our world?

And how do we effectively equip them to handle these changes, including the potential chaos they may encounter during this period of global transition?

In Future Kind, a unique mix of academics, social commentators, educators, psychologists and writers address these questions with their own style and area of expertise. This eclectic collection of essays features themes of climate action, social justice, mental health, empathy, innovation, and sacred activism, in the context of parenting, educating, and nurturing the new generation. 

Part practical guidance, personal reflection, and cultural critique, Future Kind offers food for the mind and soul of parents, educators, and anyone who cares about positively impacting our future collective story.
