The trends that break all other trendsMEGATRENDS are strong global forces affecting everything and all life on our planet. By viewing the world from a distance and over several centuries, there are 3 revolutionary turning points and 8 global forces of change that stand out and break all other trends. By understanding these deep founded grass root trends and the forces that have shaped the society we have today, it is also easier to predict the future. Especially if we understand how the different forces interact. Our population boom, rapid urbanization, consumption patterns, manufacturing methods and technology craze are all inextricably linked. Anders Lindgren, Futurist,
PR-veteran, Digital Pioneer and Services Marketer
In the same manner as ocean waves can amplify one another, the 8 megatrends are gaining in magnitude and influence, as they interact with one another.Together, they are producing the greatest changes the world has ever seen. Opposing forces and counter cyclical trends will surely arise. They tend to balance things out and are as natural as life itself. They too, are easier to spot when we have a good grasp of the waves of change shaping our past, present and future lives.

The top 1 per cent have the best houses,the best educations, the best doctors, andthe best lifestyles, but there is one thing that money doesn't seem to have bought: and understanding that their fate is bound up with how the other 99 per cent live. Throughout history, this is something that the top 1 per cent eventually do learn. Too late.”

Maybe the cluelies in the scientificDISCOVERIES?
By two of the greatest scientists of all time
![Page 173: Full report: What are the megatrends that break all other trends?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030306/587059981a28aba2118b62ad/html5/thumbnails/173.jpg)
The transformation starts in our mindTo transform our future, we must understand and learn from the past. Looking back on the 12,000 year history of humankind, there has really been minor changes in our way of thinking that has ignited monumental changes.We understood the importance of having a language, cultivating food crops, keeping clean, utilizing technology and working together.These five small changes in our mindset started the greatest revolutions the world has ever seen. Perhaps another small change in our way of thinking will be enough to make life on earth better for everyone including animals and plants.It might be, that the discoveries made by today’s physicists hold the key to the greatest transformation of all time.
“The universe, including us, is made up of energy, not matter, and we are all connected”, the scientist say. What if they are right? Perhaps we only need to change our worldview, to discover that the essential character of life, is so much more than our physical bodies and the material world we see around us?Maybe we simply need to open our hearts and minds, to tune into the invisible and universal energy that connects us all?It could be, that when we start to get a sense of this underlying energy, we will naturally begin to honor ourselves and all other humans and life forms with the dignity they deserve. All the best wishes for a bright future.Regards,
