For Rob Hopkins, in the face of the many difficult challenges that are present in all of our lives, reading this book could be the impetus we need for an important and unexpected change, better and faster than we expected.
What If… is a call to action from our collective imagination to initiate rapid and profound changes for a better world, inviting us to travel into the future and bring it into the present, materialising it.
Rob Hopkins is the co-founder of Transition Network and Transition Town Totnes, and the author of several books, including ‘The Transition Handbook’ and, more recently, ‘From What Is to What If: unleashing the power of imagination to create the future we want’.
He is an Ashoka Fellow, has spoken at TED Global and several TEDx events, and appeared in the French film phenomenon ‘Demain’. He has a PhD from the University of Plymouth, as well as 2 Honoris Causas, and is a director of the Totnes Community Development Society. He presents the podcast ‘From What If to What Next’.
In November 2022, he was appointed Honorary Citizen of Liège, Belgium, by the city’s Mayor. His website is robhopkins.net.
