What Awaits Us in 2026?
Will 2026 be a year of relief - or the moment when today's crises finally catch up with us?
Do you worry about your job, your bills, your children's future - and feel lost in a storm of confusing "expert" predictions?
What Awaits Us in 2026? is your calm, fact-based guide through the noise.
Instead of scary headlines or rosy promises, this book asks the questions you are already asking - and answers them using only serious sources (IMF, World Bank, WHO, OECD, UN, IPCC and leading research institutes).
What if you could...
Understand which forecasts for 2026 you can trust - and which are mostly guesswork?
See what is already "locked in" by demography, climate and debt - and what is still open to our choices?
Know how inflation, public debt and interest rates are likely to shape everyday prices, wages and savings in 2026?
Get a realistic view of jobs, remote work and AI - which roles are at real risk, which are likely to grow, and which skills you should actually focus on?
See how elections, populism and polarization may affect your rights, media, and trust in institutions by 2026?
Understand which wars and geopolitical tensions are most likely to matter for energy prices, migration and your personal safety?
Learn what climate science really says about heatwaves, floods, droughts and insurance in the next few years - without exaggeration or denial?
Find out whether energy, electricity and heating are likely to get cheaper or more expensive - and how secure the grid may be?
See what top experts expect for healthcare systems, pandemics and chronic diseases - are we heading for another COVID, or something different?
Ask what AI, social media and the attention economy will actually change in daily life by 2026 - work, politics, mental health, culture?
Understand how cybercrime, deepfakes and data leaks could touch your bank account, job or family - and what simple defences really help?
Explore how inequality, migration and aging societies may change pensions, welfare and social stability in your country?
Connect all of this to your own budget in 2026 - groceries, rent, bills, savings, education and work-life balance?
See, finally, three clear scenarios for 2026 - best case, worst case and most likely - and what each would mean for an ordinary person?
What will you get from this book?
Clarity instead of panic - you see where expert confidence is high, where uncertainty is real, and how to live with both.
A simple toolkit for reading predictions - so every new headline about 2026 becomes easier to judge and less frightening.
A map of the main pressures on your life in 2026 - money, work, housing, health, security, technology.
Concrete ideas for personal resilience - how individuals, families and small communities can prepare without doom-thinking or magical optimism.
Is this book for you?
Are you an ordinary reader, not an economist or scientist, who still wants serious, sourced information?
Are you tired of clickbait doom and tech hype and looking for calm, well-explained scenarios?
Do you want to make smarter decisions about work, finances, place of living and family plans before 2026 arrives?
If you answered "yes" to any of these, this book is written for you.
Do you want to enter 2026 scared and confused - or informed and prepared?
