How civilizations are born, grow and fall.

Are we living in an epoch that has no parallels? Is our world as unique as we think? And will we be the first civilization to grow forever? Or is everything simply different and we are just another pebble in the mosaic of human stories in this world? The correct answer is probably both yes and no.

Our civilization, the level of technology and knowledge in general, the maturity of communications and medical care, as well as the level of well-being speak for themselves. In the same way, however, we can observe that, similar to the past, we are also facing well-known challenges today, such as the growth of bureaucracy, the functioning or failure of elites, the role of the social contract and leaders, excess or, conversely, lack of energy sources, economic crises or the (in)ability to adapt to changes in the natural environment. There are also completely new challenges, such as a world shrouded in global communication, social networks, zettabytes of information, the contradiction between accumulated knowledge and real knowledge, the human ability to massively change its natural environment, epidemics and many others.

The book Seven Laws offers the opportunity to look at today's world as part of a long time series of history, processes and partial events, the characteristics of which reveal that there are seven universal laws to which all civilizations are subject. Us too.

The book won the award Czech bestseller 2021in the category PROFESSIONAL AND POPULAR EDUCATIONAL LITERATURE FOR ADULTS.
