A case for thinking in public—slowly and together.

Real and enduring social change can feel impossible when it seems our society has split into a million fragments. How does collective action succeed when our lenses are so individuated? Christy Vines founded the Ideos Institute to solve just this problem, discovering “empathic intelligence” as a strategic way of living and engaging with the created order around us. She talks with Anne about the formation of this intelligence—how exactly it can be learned and taught.
Anne Snyder is the editor-in-chief of Comment magazine and host of The Whole Person Revolution.
Christy Vines is the president and CEO of Ideos Institute, a nonpartisan, faith-based think tank dedicated to the research and application of Empathic Intelligence in leadership, culture, and society.
