    Awaken your future sense and predict your own future! 
    The future is a game. And this book will teach you how to win planetary style! 
    Anne Skare Nielsen and Henrik Good Hovgaard are some of the most prominent futurists in the game. Together they run Universal Futurist and travel the world to teach leaders and other folks how to be a visionary, predict the future and create their own unique vantage point. Anne and Henrik are crazy enough to believe that futurists can change the world for the better, and their own mission is to win the Nobel Peace Price before they die. If you buy this book, you’re invited to the after party. 
    ‘Future Sense’ will teach you how to spot trends, how to keep focusing on your goals, overcome your worst fears and taboos, train new and future-oriented skills and visualize a future full of magic moments. 
    You’ll move on from being a passive and analytical observer to being an active and rebellious co-player. And you’ll attune your ‘MBS’ – an amazing navigation tool that teaches you how to combine your Mind, Body and Soul, so that you are able to see, feel and believe in the future you want to create. 
    With 'Future Sense’ in your hand, you’ll not just be able to navigate the future. You’ll also know how to design the rules of the game yourself. The future will no longer hit you on the way out, for you will be the futurist, who can change the rules of the game and create a better world for others. 
    ‘Future Sense’ unlocks a new and better mode called Planetary. And you can only win this mode if the other players win as well. Success in the future is not about ‘more,’ it’s about ‘better.’ 
    When you can predict your own future, you must use the insight you gain to create a better life, but you can’t do it on your own. If you’re in the game for ‘more,’ you might win, but you’ll ruin the whole world in the process.

    Oliver Cromwell is one of the most important men in England’s history, but everything he struggled for collapsed within two decades of his death. The army, Parliament and the citizens of London grappled with each other for control of the country, and even the army no longer remained a united political force. Civil war almost broke out again as a force under Lambert failed to prevent General Monck, the military governor of Scotland, from marching south and dissolving the Rump Parliament. Excluded MPs were restored on condition that they themselves dissolve Parliament, and following fresh elections without military intervention, a new Parliament met on April 25, 1660. Dominated by Presbyterians and Royalists, it accepted a settlement offered by the man titling himself Charles II, the son and heir of Charles I. On May 25, 1660, Charles II returned to England, and less than two years after Cromwell’s death, his work was undone by the Restoration. King Charles II heaped ignominy upon defeat by having Cromwell’s body dug up and posthumously executed. Cromwell’s body was then decapitated, as was Ireton’s, and their heads were placed on a pike above Westminster Hall, where Charles I had been tried, for several years.  
    	Despite the Restoration, however, and despite the fact England’s republican experiment barely outlasted Cromwell, the Commonwealth and Restoration were hugely important in asserting the power of Parliament, and it permanently shifted England’s political balance firmly towards a constitutional monarchy limited by Parliament. The Stuart monarchy was restored on condition of compromise with Parliament and the army, and a precedent had been set for Parliament to replace the monarch, a precedent it would follow in the 1680s when James II was replaced by William and Mary in a settlement that set even more limits around the monarch.
