The five tribal levels:
1: Life (in general) sucks
-When you think life is irredeemably terrible, you do terrible things.
2: My life sucks
-Nothing kills imagination and motivation like pessimism.
3: I'm great, you're not!
-Competition can be a great motivator, but it's an insular way of thinking and ultimately an excuse for warfare.
4: I'm great, and so are you ... we're great!
-A tribe can come together and become more than the sum of its parts.
5: Life is great.
-True optimism means believing humankind can achieve greatness. A vision that inspires people to strive for greatness in themselves and their societies can change the world.
