Introduction
Five fundamental concerns—and the beliefs or "dangerous ideas" we hold about them—profoundly influence our personal and collective lives. Issues revolving around vulnerability, injustice, distrust, superiority, and helplessness are crucial factors in how we experience and make sense of the world. These same concerns are also key lenses through which we evaluate information and form judgments about possibilities, priorities, and courses of action.
Individuals and groups working to achieve important goals—from improved quality of life to positive societal change—can best tackle obstacles and embrace opportunities if they understand how these five core issues affect their efforts and outcomes (directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, consciously or sub-consciously).
