Hope and the Future: Confronting Today's Crisis of Purpose

First Published in 2014 by ICD Press

Hope and the Future: Confronting Today's Crisis of Purpose is a book by Charles M. Johnston MD.

"Hope and the Future presents a brief but provocative examination of what legitimate hope for the future necessarilly depends on. It introduces the concept of Cultural Maturity by examining critical questions and challenges today confronting us as a species. It describes how effectively addressing many of these new questions and challenges will require new human skills and capacities—new ways of thinking, relating, and acting. And it argues that something like the changes the concept of Cultural Maturity describes is necessary if we are to realize these needed new human capacities."
