This book ventures deep into the concepts that shape our mind and our society.
Remembering the Past
Ancient societies joined law, ritual, economy, and meaning into one lived fabric. Taking note of those design insights - without the coercion - shows how spaces, narratives, and shared ceremonies can anchor belonging and purpose today.
The Twofold Mind
Human cognition runs on two complementary engines: narrative intuition that makes life coherent, and analytical reasoning that checks truth. Cultivating both enables lives and institutions that feel meaningful while staying reality‑based.
Building Culture on Purpose
Culture doesn't just happen - it's designed. By channeling status toward real contribution, creating permeable experiences people can co‑create, and setting shared commons for cooperation, we can build plural, resilient worlds worth belonging to.
