Charles Handy is one a giant of contemporary thought. His books on management – including "Understanding Organisations" and "Gods of Management" – have changed the way we view business.

His work on broader issues and trends – such as "Beyond Certainty" – has changed the way we view society.

In "The Second Curve", he builds on a life's work to glimpse into the future and see what challenges and opportunities lie ahead. He looks at current trends in capitalism and asks whether it is a sustainable system. He explores the dangers of a society built on credit. He challenges the myth that remorseless growth is essential. He even asks whether we should rethink our roles in life – as students, parents, workers and voters – and what the aims of an ideal society of the future should be.

Provocative and thoughtful as ever, he sets out the questions we all need to ask ourselves – and points us toward some answers. I was fortunate to spend an evening with Charles in his home in London. He is an incredible man with an intriguing view of things. This was a memorable moment for me as I met a personal hero.
