Synopsis
Challenging the current dogma of maximum economic growth, globalisation and international competitiveness, well-known futurist Robert Theobald argues persuasively that, to survive, we must overhaul our whole concept of 'success'. The required criteria of success for the next phase of human social evolution are ecological integrity and a respect for all of nature, effective participatory decision-making, and social cohesion based on profoundly changed concepts of justice. These radically changed goals force us to radically reconstruct our communities. This book documents the steady slide of 'successes' into failures that characterise the latter part of this century, and then describes the new role that citizens are adopting in helping to create new kinds of success today and in the future.

From the Author
An update on the relevance of the book
A new edition of the book has just been published with a new introduction which connects the Y2K issue to the central argument. It was my thesis in Reworking Success that the directions in which we have moved for the twentieth century are no longer viable. Y2K is one of many issues that are making this statement more and more obviously true.
The implication of my argument is that the human race knows how to be succesful at achieving the goals it sets for itself. If we set a new set of goals for ourselves we can hope that we shall achieve them. I suggest that social cohesion, ecological integrity and effective decision-making can lead to a high quality of life so long as we live with a sense of the sacred and the spiritual.
The ideas in Reworking Success are now being carried forward at www.resilientcommunities.org Those who want a more detailed set of ideas about required twenty-first century directions can look at Turning the Century. The Healing Century tapes provide a base for discussion groups.
