FOREWORD BY TIM SMIT. A brilliant analysis of how it is stories, rather than facts and pie-charts, that have the power to animate us and bring us together to tackle the major issues of our time- climate change, mass migration, inequality and resource scarcity.

Intelligence Council.

Very short, very sharp
*Economist*
Pertinent… Evans is an attractive and persuasive writer … his book
will strike many chords’
*Scotsman*
An important book about the need to bring inspiring narratives back
to the heart of progressive politics ... This has traction because
it has truth, literally as well as metaphorically.
*New Scientist*
A really fascinating contribution to answering the question: how do
we find new myths to live by.
*Dr Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury*
Everyone should read this.
