NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion.

I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.

This is a great quote.

You have never met a purely rational human, yourself included.

So asking someone to set aside their feelings and think rationally is a foolā€™s errand.

Instead, seek to understand the emotions and their origin. Rationality can guide, but itā€™s more effective wrapped in empathy.

'It's very common that large companies manage to metrics that they don't really understand, they don't really know why they exist, and the world may have shifted and the metrics are no longer as relevant as they were.'
