It's building the systems capable of bringing it to life.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePossibility Sciences\u003c\/i\u003e, Terry Young introduces a new discipline that explains why some bold ideas reshape the world while others stall--and how to create the conditions in which breakthroughs endure and compound. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Humanity has never possessed greater imaginative or technological capacity. Yet the institutions responsible for turning possibility into progress remain optimized for another era--rewarding short-term performance, incremental improvement, and operational efficiency over long-horizon transformation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We are entering an era defined by the \u003cb\u003ePossibility Gap\u003c\/b\u003e: the widening distance between what humanity can imagine and what our systems are capable of realizing. Rather than asking what the future will be, Possibility Sciences asks a different question: \u003cb\u003eHow do breakthroughs actually emerge, spread, and redefine what's possible?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on concepts such as \u003cb\u003eReturn on Future, Stickability, Stackability, Zero-Waste Innovation, Possibility Commons, Community-as-Laboratory, and Horizontal Combinatorial Innovation, \u003c\/b\u003e Young presents an integrated architecture for enabling breakthrough ideas to move from possibility to lasting societal impact. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written for leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, policymakers, strategists, institution builders, and anyone committed to shaping a better future, Possibility Sciences is more than a book about innovation. It is the foundational introduction to a new discipline designed to move beyond prediction and incrementalism toward intentionally building the futures we want to create.","brand":"Ideapress Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50693101945025,"sku":"9781646873036","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/5512\/0833\/files\/9781646873036.jpg?v=1791235871","url":"https:\/\/www.porchlightbooks.com\/products\/possibility-sciences-terry-young-9781646873036","provider":"Porchlight Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
