Almost everyone at some point in their lives has dealt with a personal crisis; whether it be a death of a loved one, the loss of a job or a breakup in a marriage. To overcome such crises we must shed the mantle of victimhood, accept responsibility for our actions, selectively change aspects of ourselves and be honest in our own self appraisal. The question, however, is can this type of crisis management also be applied to nations, kingdoms, empires and even the world at large?
Join distinguished geographer, historian and ornithologist Jared Diamond as he explores the parallels in crisis management between individuals and societies both on a national and global level. Diamond will take you on a fascinating journey through common psycological practice, the Chilean Coup D'etat, 19th century Japan and the U.S. as well as highlighting the most pressing issues that face us today and how we can solve them.
