The Only Possible Solution

About the book
The Only Possible Solution is more than a book — it is a manifesto for survival, balance, and hope. Drawing on insights from scientists, activists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries worldwide, Fons Burger weaves a holistic picture of how humanity might still flourish a century from now.
The book does not dwell on collapse, but on choice. It shows how food, water, health, shelter, culture, governance, and love are all connected — and how long-term thinking can turn today’s crises into tomorrow’s breakthroughs. With urgency and imagination, Burger challenges us to step beyond short-term fixes and dare to envision a world that remains livable for generations.
The Only Possible Solution is both a warning and an invitation: a bold vision of what we can build together if we act now.

The Long View
The book makes one conclusion inescapable: without long-term thinking, there is no future worth living. If we dare to act beyond election cycles and profit margins, a path opens toward peace, balance, and a planet that can sustain us for centuries
The Personal Journey
Behind the research lies the author’s own struggle: how to live without exploiting the earth, how to care for others while building a meaningful life. It is both a universal question and an intimate search, woven through every page of this book.
