A little book about making sense of the world
If you’re working to make things better or help people, are you frustrated that it’s so hard for society to move forward?
Why do people do and say such weird things? Why don’t we take the steps that are right in front of us? Why do our brains fight change so much?
In this book Tim Gray combines strands from personal development and social change with years of observation.
It’s a toolkit for thinking about change, seeing through obstacles, making sense of the world we’re in, and using that insight to help us be guides to a new story.
The short sections visit a range of concepts, reflections and perspectives — from big picture aspirations to small conversational tactics.
- The big picture — we’re moving through the pass to a better story of how the world can be, but our brains get in the way.
- Planet of the bubble people — worldviews and badly programmed defences.
- Interesting times — a recently fluid world, and reactions to living in it.
- The forest of bad signposts — brain moves and social tactics aimed at derailing change.
- Change guides, apply within — thoughts for managing ourselves and others if we want to help get through the pass.
