A brief encounter between a professor of foresight and a struggling entrepreneur in near-future Singapore transforms into an Asian tale beyond time and space. The reader is taken along the captivating journey of a young apprentice, Jigo, who goes through many obstacles to learn foresight from the wise Master Fu and save his village in danger. Blending fiction with non-fiction, each chapter of The Dao of Foresight introduces a new foresight technique through a timeless relationship between master and disciple imbued with the wisdom of Eastern Asian philosophies (Daoism, Zen Buddhism, Confucianism). Through the continuous juxtaposition of the old and the new, The Dao of Foresight intertwines mystery and adventure with learning, and inspires curiosity, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of the core principles of foresight.
