Jim Brumm: Long-Term Thinking for a Short-Sighted World

A native of California, Jim Brumm has been a writer, editor, and magazine publisher for 23 years. The father of two sons, he also wrote a popular newspaper column in the Napa Valley Register for seven years on the subject of fatherhood. Jim has worked with Web design firms creating copy and specializing in search engine optimization, and as the staff writer at an environmental firm in Sebastopol, California. He has written hundreds of business profiles. Having written on a wide array of subjects and businesses over the years, Jim is skilled at taking scientific or complicated subjects and boiling them down to their essence, making them approachable, understandable, and enjoyable to lay people. He rides a Vespa.

For the past several years Jim has undertaken an in-depth study of the ills facing societies today and in the past, and realized they have a common theme: a lack of long-term thinking, something little understood and rarely discussed directly though it has plagued humanity for thousands of years. He is currently writing a book titled Long-Term Thinking for a Short-Sighted World.

Jim created this Web site to provide a forum for articles, ideas, and discussion on the subject of long-term thinking.

In 2006, Jim released a music CD, titled These September Days, comprised of all-original music and lyrics. http://www.cdbaby.com/jimbrumm
