Description
“Yancey Strickler, co-founder of the online crowdfunding platform
Kickstarter, urges us to change the way we view work and society…[a]
mix of internal corporate reform and consciousness-raising.― — Wall
Street Journal'In this wise, and sometimes bracing, manifesto, he
reveals how hidden assumptions about what matters have coarsened our
culture and corroded our values. Then shows how to create organizations
and institutions built less on maximizing financial gain and more on
family, faith, and sustainability. This book is the conversation starter
our world needs.― — Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author
of WHEN, DRIVE, and A WHOLE NEW MIND  “Yancey Strickler is convinced
that our value system is broken. In this lucid book, he lays out a
vision for how to fix it thatâ€s both audacious and elevating. Itâ€s a
thought-provoking read for anyone who knows thereâ€s more to life than
accumulating wealth.― — Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author
of GIVE AND TAKE, ORIGINALS, and coauthor of OPTION B  “Starting in
the 1970s, new ideas were proposed about how business should run--ideas
that prioritized short-term over long term, profit before people,
selfish decisions over selfless ones. Those ideas blossomed in the 1980s
and 90s and today they consume too many of the standard business
practices. Yancey Strickler is one of the voices that is helping to
reverse those ideas in favor of a people before profit model that
benefits ALL stakeholders. Preach on Yancey!!― — Simon Sinek,
Optimist and New York Times bestselling author of START WITH WHY and
LEADERS EAT LAST Â 'A seminal work, it puts a long overdue stake
through the heart of profit maximization and all the harm this toxic
idea has caused. Beautifully written, thoughtfully researched, a must
read for anyone who cares about where we're headed.' —Seth Godin, New
York Times bestselling author of THIS IS MARKETING  “This book is a
gift to humanity, filled with blueprints and ideas about how
effortlessly we can change the way we think to create a better and
kinder world. Itâ€s packed with insight and shows us that real change
is not as impossible as we might believe. If youâ€ve got futurefatigue,
this book might be the perfect bedtime story to help you sleep
at night.― —Amanda Palmer, Musician and New York Times bestselling
author of THE ART OF ASKING: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Let
People Help  “Want to actually change the world for the better?
Start here.― — Sophia Amoruso, New York Times bestselling author of
GIRLBOSS  “This bold, moving book explains why forging a more

humane, equitable society depends on a fundamental shift not just in
values, but the very way we define what value is. This is urgent,
actionable reading for anyone who cares about the long-term, complete
with a simple framework for how to start seeing the bigger picture and
making real change.― —Eric Ries, Author of the international
bestsellers THE LEAN STARTUP and THE STARTUP WAY and Founder of The Long
Term Stock Exchange  “Throughout history, societies have fallen for
the fallacy that the world around them is how things are destined to be
forever--only in hindsight do we see how wrong and shortsighted they
were. This Could Be Our Future is a brilliant exercise in reasoning
from first principles, challenging our assumptions about how the world
must be.― — Tim Urban, writer of Wait But Why  'This is a
beautiful, simple, important book. If we all follow its advice, the
world will be a far better place for our children and grandchildren.'
— Tim O'Reilly, Founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media and author of WTF?
WHATâ€S THE FUTURE AND WHY ITâ€S UP TO US  “Reading This Could Be
Our Future should be a requirement for all who endeavor to build and
lead humane organizations.' — Jerry Colonna, author of REBOOT:
LEADERSHIP AND THE ART OF GROWING UP  “Yancey's career has been
predicated on debunking unbridled self-interest––especially of the
financial kind. In this book, he promotes a new design for society based
on a more generous sharing of riches, ideas, and destinies.―
— Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator, Architecture and Design at The
Museum of Modern Art  “The co-founder and former CEO of Kickstarter
offers some intriguing ideas on how to create a better world...A valid
evaluation of the modern world and why it needs to shift from financial
maximization to something more humane.― — Kirkus Yancey Strickler is
the cofounder and former CEO of Kickstarter. He has appeared on NBC,
CNN, MSNBC, NPR Marketplace, Planet Money, KCRW, PBS, and the BBC. He's
been profiled in Wired, Financial Times, The New York Times, New York
Magazine, Forbes, and Vox and has given keynotes at SXSW, the Sundance
Film Festival, t
