    The discussion about visions over policy ideas really hits the nail on the head for me. And I think the right - at least in the UK - is so much better at putting (usually negative) images in people's heads. That our mental images are capable of driving our emotions and narratives is something that politicians and leaders seem to have amnesia about, preferring to have rational and analytical debates - I think Ian McGilchrist is on the money is observing that modern culture is too dominated by the "left brain hemisphere" whose job is to categorise, manipulate (as in grasp and use) and fix as concrete. Education systems reinforce this too. It's a deep and systemic problem... so I lived the combination in this discussion of deep insight with practical action. Anand's book The Persuaders is just brilliant, I can't get enough of this man's thinking...

    yes that's the idea .. imagine a future where when your feet hit the floor in the morning you aren't worried about the cost of health care or college .. that you can get paid time off when your kids get sick .. the basics of water food housing safety & security are affordable .. where you can have time off to play with your friends and grill some lunch in the park .. where the level of stress and anxiety are noticeably reduced .. who will tell the story of life after good policy is implemented ??
