O course, we all want to live in a System that is sustainable, both globally and nationally. But today we are facing many impossible-seeming "Monster Problems" that ordinary solution strategies cannot adequately address. These solution strategies include new legislation, civic education, religion, new technologies, meditation, non violent communication, land trusts, food coops, etc. These are not enough to stave off either global or national system collapse.
However, Society’s Breakthrough," which is applying the Wisdom Council Process to the world and/or to the nation, can transform the System so that we can become collectively intelligent, act coherently and responsibly, and maybe stave off imminent collapse.

Society's Breakthrough at the global level
Robert David Steele ... national level
"The term "Society's Breakthrough" originated in the publication of Society’s Breakthrough! Releasing Essential Wisdom and Virtue in All the People by Jim Rough (2002). Robert David Steele, #1 nonfiction book reviewer on Amazon.com at the time, said "'Society's Breakthrough' is perhaps one of the ten most important books available in English." In December 2020 Robert returned to the idea by interviewing Jim on his podcast. (Unfortunately, Robert passed away in 2021).

- Society's Breakthrough as a national "Solution" in the U.S.
- Free 5-part video seminar: "Essential Wisdom for solving society's biggest problems". Each part of the seminar explores a different element of the strategy: 1) Facilitation, how a small group can transform the conversation of a system of people; 2) Choice-creating as the essential form of thinking that needs to be facilitated; 3) Dynamic Facilitation as a way to reliably evoke choice-creating; 4) The Wisdom Council Process as a reliable way to spark choice-creating in large systems of people; and 5) Society's Breakthrough, the application of the Wisdom Council Process to society itself (i.e. global and national).
