Crafting Your Destiny: Self-Fulfilling Prophecies as Future Engineering

Crafting Your Destiny: Self-Fulfilling Prophecies as Future Engineering reframes prophecy from mysticism to mechanism. Drawing on the foundational insights of Robert K. Merton and the pragmatic philosophy of William James, the book argues that belief is not passive optimism but a structural force capable of reorganizing behavior, identity, and social systems. Professor George presents self-fulfilling prophecy as a technology, one that can be consciously designed to convert intention into inevitability. Blending rigorous analysis with bold philosophical provocation, the book invites readers to move beyond prediction and into deliberate future construction, where destiny is neither discovered nor awaited, but crafted.
