The Good Ancestor

Roman Krznaric
T3 no Open Library recordgoodreads

Krznaric surveys six ways of thinking that orient people toward longer horizons — from the cathedral builders of the medieval period to Iroquois seven-generation decision-making. His concept of 'acorn brain' versus 'marshmallow brain' is a useful diagnostic for why institutions favor short-term reward even when long-term thinking is available.
