Über den Autor

Charles M. Johnston, MD is a psychiatrist and futurist. He is best know as the originator of Creative Systems Theory, a comprehensive framework for understanding purpose, change, and interrelationship in human systems that makes a major contribution to contemporary understanding. For many years he was the director of the Institute for Creative Development, a Seattle-based non-partisan think tank and center for advanced leadership training. He is the author of ten books and numerous articles on the future and how we can best prepare to meet it. The concept of Cultural Maturity, a key notion within Creative Systems Theory, addresses how we best understand the times we live in and make choices that support a healthy human future. More information on Dr. Johnston and his work can be found at the Institute for Creative Development website (www.creativesystems.org), at the Institute's Cultural Maturity blog (www.CulturalMaturityBlog.net), at Dr. Johnston's Looking to the Future podcast (www.LookingtotheFuture.net), and at the ICD Press webpage (www.hopeandthefuture.com).
