A bold, optimistic and internationally bestselling book giving us cutting-edge ideas for how we might reshape society

We live in a time of unprecedented upheaval, when technology and so-called progress have made us richer but more uncertain than ever before. We have questions about the future, society, work, happiness, family and money, and yet no political party of the right or left is providing us with answers. So, too, does the time seem to be coming to an end when we looked to economists to help us define the qualities necessary to create a successful society.

We need a new movement. One defined by a young historian who can tell us the truth about how we got here. They'd be a political outsider, the voice of their generation, one who doesn't harness rage or agitate grievances but who provides us with the answer's for which we've been looking. That person is Rutger Bregman and his vision is Utopia for Realists.

I found this book to be very informative regarding simple applications for solving problems and increasing efficiency in everyday life.

This newly translated Dutch bestseller is being lavished with praise by everyone from musicians to Harvard academics, and after racing through it, it’s easy to see why. This book is empirical and unambiguous about the social divides and challenges the world faces but is unwaveringly positive about the future ahead. Universal minimum income, a 15-hour-working week, the end of world poverty and borderless global society. Sound crazy? This book invites you to start ‘dreaming seriously’ for our time ahead.

Utopia for Realists is a fantastic conversation starter. I can’t shut up about it.
