Sobre este áudio
A common sense field guide to understanding, surviving, and thriving in our time of complex chaos and crises.
Is this finally it? The end times? Because from COVID-19 to climate catastrophe to the looming AI revolution—not to mention the ever-growing background hum of rage, fear, and anxiety—it’s starting to feel like the party we call civilization is just about over. The good news? It’s always felt that way.
Drawing on evolutionary psychology, history, brain science, game theory, and more, cooperation theorist (and, coincidentally, zombie expert) Athena Aktipis reassuringly explains how we, as a species, are hardwired to survive big existential crises. And how we can do so again by leveraging our innate abilities to communicate and cooperate.
Pack a ukulele in your prep kit. Practice your risk-management skills. Enlist your crew into a survival team. And embrace the apocalypse. You might just enjoy it. Plus, it will help us build a better and more resilient future for all humankind.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

"This feel-good book about the end of human existence comes just in time to remedy the winter doldrums. The basic message is yes, we are living in apocalyptic times, but we should calm our fears and prepare for whatever comes. Aktipis is by turns witty, insightful, reassuring, silly, and always interesting. Aktipis' advice seems a sensible response to it all. Teens will also enjoy both the topics and tone of Aktipis' survival guide."—Booklist
“At turns irreverent, unexpected, informative, and funnier than it has any right to be, this is a brilliant handbook for preparing for the future, no matter what it brings.”—Andrew Maynard, author of Future Rising
“This guide doesn’t sugarcoat our apocalyptish circumstances, but it demands radical optimism by reminding us of who we are: a species built for change, compassion, and survival.”—Rachel Feltman, author of Been There, Done That
