Editor’s note: I am in Washington, DC this week attending my son’s college orientation. Just as I have encouraged him to take one course every semester unrelated to his field of study, I encourage you to do the same with this week’s Future Future 15. Click on a link that does not pertain to your business. Thinking isn’t everything. Sometimes you just have to have faith that pursuing an unknown path or scratching an intellectual itch can lead you to where you need to go.  

Think: You Need to Practice Being Your Future Self.

Think Twice: Five Ways to Disrupt Yourself.

Think Historically: Against the Clock: How Technology Has Changed Our Experience of Time.

Think Different: The Paradox of Connection

Think Smarter: Why Reading Books is Important for the Brain.

Think Harder: Sidewalk Labs Releases its Plan for Toronto Smart City.

Think Like a Futurist: The Simple Rule That Can Help You Predict the Future.

Think in Questions: Does Neven’s Law Describe Quantum Computing?

Think 10X: Walmart is Using AI to Prevent Checkout Theft.

Think Bigger: Why Electric-Powered Airplanes Are Headed for Takeoff.

Think Faster: Lab-Grown Dairy: The Next Food Frontier.

Think Radically: Isaac Asimov Asks, “How Do People Get New Ideas?”

Think Anew: Apple Buys Autonomous Driving Company Drive.ai.

Think Sustainably: How The New Green Deal Will Reshape U.S. Industry.

Think the Unthinkable: The Surreal End of the American College.

Want to think again? You can always revisit last week’s “Future 15”.

Until next week: Don’t stop thinking about the future! But also never forget “It is easier to act your way into a new way of thinking than think your way into a new way of acting“!
