“Be worried about extreme success,” says Arthur Demarest,world-renowned Maya expert, professor, and archaeologist. What can we learn from the ancient Maya civilization? By studying ancient civilizations and their collapses, Dr.Demarest has identified key symptoms of decline and developed a theory on apogee. In this second episode of a two-part series on the Maya, he takes us on a compelling journey connecting these themes to today’s global situation. His insights are striking—sometimes even prophetic—about crisis management and societal collapse, while also offering possible solutions for today’s challenges.” A must-listen for anyone interested in business, crisis management, and learning from the past to navigate the future.
