Using insightful and original examples aligned with pertinent analysis, the author takes the reader on a compelling journey through future behavioral dynamics. He engages with a wide variety of topics, from digitalisation to trust, from ethics to mental health.
Future Human Behavior is your inspirational guide to a number of possible futures, and the book you need to be ready for them all.
