# PART I: ART AND PHYSICS 1. REASONS FOR HOPE We are entering the next great shift. The meaning you make of the shift shapes the reality you experience, and the emergent strategies you can use. The lenses Picasso and Einstein used to create great shifts in art and physics can guide us today in developing adaptive capacity in yourself, your organisation, and your economy. 2. STORIES, LENSES AND MAPS The stories, lenses and maps we use generate the unique reality each of us experiences. The types of questions we ask, and how we ask them, determines what we can see through the lens we use, and interpret with our meaning-making story templates. Cargo cults and scientism put us at risk of fooling ourselves. We need to harness conflict and manage boundaries to get out of the mess that we’ve got ourselves into. The six layers of our economy, from each individual through to the global economy as an ecosystem of ecosystems, and how to turn conflict into antifragility in each layer.
