Beyond Horizons

Life choices and personal roadmaps for the future

After many years of future thinking support to businesses and organisations, we now present to you our latest book, Beyond Horizons, our approach for assisting you to explore the personal future landscapes for your life and the roadmaps how to get there. This is a self-help book, guiding you through context, content and giving you assignments to plot your own path according to the mind models we present. We are bringing to you thought frameworks supported by examples and guide you to do the mapping of your own future. This takes place at various markers on your life path, normally where you experience inflection points, or major life changes. An inflection point represents a significant shift or turning point in your life path, often leading to a change in direction or trajectory taking you into uncharted territory with new excitement, but also uncertainty. These inflection points can be either positive or negative and are often accompanied by a sense of change, transition, and usually, uncertainty. Life choices must be made at these inflection points, and we assist you to make these decisions against a well thought-through future landscape and life scenarios that will enable you to navigate towards a preferred future and avoid a likely future that you will gravitate to if you do nothing. We invite individuals, couples and families to read this book and work through its examples and make life choices on what to do in your individualised cases. Come and join us on this life changing journey that will provide you with control and certainty to face your tomorrows.

About the Author

Dr Anthon Botha is a physicist, strategist, optimist, sentimentalist, and a deep thinker about the future. He founded TechnoScene in 1989, a company that explores the worlds of science, engineering, technology, and innovation. Through his work, he helps clients imagine what is coming, painting vivid pictures of multiple futures and guiding them towards what could be. His approach to strategy is practical, not by simplifying the world, but by helping people think clearly in complex environments. He believes that knowledge is the key to make sense of how we will live, work, play, and transact in the years ahead.

Over time, he began to apply the same future-thinking tools he used with corporations to personal life, helping individuals navigate uncertainty and find control over their lives. Many people feel confused or afraid about what lies ahead, and his future thinking methods offer a way to face that uncertainty with confidence. By using the techniques shared in this book and learning to create your own scenarios, you will be empowered to take control of your circumstances and make thoughtful choices about your future.

Beyond his consulting work, Anthon is a facilitator who helps groups find clarity and agreement, and a catalyst who helps people recognise what they already know and what they still need to learn. He is further a nature lover, a dreamer, a storyteller, a traveller, and a wildlife photographer. His life is a blend of science and imagination, strategy and emotion, always guided by a deep curiosity about what is next.
