We’re living in tricky times. The existing order is being challenged, the familiar must be let go, and boundaries are shifting. Every transformation comes with a turbulent in-between, a fascinating transitional phase in which the world seems to rewrite its own rules. In the confusion, we tend to cling to false certainties and are easily seduced by grand promises.

We may be lost, but we are not gone.

This book explores the fascinating dynamics of major change. Drawing on powerful insights from anthropology and cultures around the world, Jitske Kramer unpacks the human responses to deep transformation. And she offers hope: we may be lost, but we are not gone. We’ve been through turbulent transitions before. We’ve got this.
