Wellbeing

In chapter five the two brothers elaborate the major atributes that contribute to wellbeing.  They discuss topics like food and clean water supply, health, education, sustainability and culture.

In their lifetime the foodsupply has completely changed into a model with a minimal footprint on nature and with better recycling methods and many new technologies.

Healthcare is an other area where technology has made major improvements possible. These technologies are bio-chemiclal, nano-tech, genetic and on regeneration of organic structures.

The area of education shifted away from the old systems that were mainly based on the principles dating from the industrial revolution era. Key focalpoints are empowerment, creativity, collaboration and teaching the future.

Furthermore they discuss briefly the achievements that have been made in making the world more sustainable and the changes that took place in the area of culture.
