A brief opening — what stands out most clearly, and what may benefit from your attention next. The chapters that follow give the evidence behind every claim.

Caring for people and animals, teaching friends, making things fair.
Bringing people together, starting projects, taking the first step.
Sorting, planning, collecting, keeping things tidy and running smoothly.
