Leisure Bibliozone
“Plans must always require a stretching of activity and of the mind into the future - next year, the year after - and whatever its form, surely the purpose of leisure time is to offer not only enjoyment but also interior satisfaction of accomplishment and self-expression.”
Santha Rama Rau

Personal Futures
Personal Futures Network
Methods for learning about the future have been available and in use by businesses for decades, but the process has simply been too complex for most individuals. The Personal Futures Network introduces some new, easily understood approaches that will help you to think like a futurist and learn about your personal futures.
Verne Wheelwright, PhD, a professional futurist shows you how to anticipate and design your future.
- Personal Futures: Foresight & Futures Studies for Individuals
- It's YOUR future...Make it a good one!
Knowledge about the future has been available to large organizations for decades. Now that knowledge is available in practical form to individuals in an illustrated, step-by-step format. The author shows and explains how to anticipate the future, how to explore alternative futures with scenarios, how to create a vision of the future and how to achieve that vision. - The Personal Futures Workbook
What is a personal future? As we interpret personal futures here, they are explorations of the potential futures of one individual, but only the futures that directly involve that individual. You will be learning about the futures that relate directly to you and your family. This Workbook can be used by itself or with Verne Wheelwright's book It’s YOUR Future… Make it a Good One! This workbook can be filled in and saved on your computer or you can print it out and fill it in by hand.
