“Society’s Breakthrough” is the application of Wisdom Council Process to the nation and/or globally. It's a social innovation by which to transform the System we currently inhabit, including governance, economics, and the culture. So exploring this idea in depth can either feel threatening ... or exciting!!
"The term "Society's Breakthrough" originated with the publication in 2002 of Society’s Breakthrough! Releasing Essential Wisdom and Virtue in All the People by Jim Rough. In 2007 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 2019 Mr. Steele revisited the book in a podcast with Jim Rough: "Social Innovations to Heal Our World"
In 2002 we assumed that the Wisdom Council Process would need to be established through a U.S. Constitutional Amendment in order to transform the system. However through many experiments we discovered that the "magic sauce" isn't a Constitutional Amendment. Instead, what's key is our ability to facilitate an ongoing whole-nation choice-creating conversation. With enough publicity and public interest, the Wisdom Council Process by itself can spark a legitimate national "We the People" into existence. See the chart describing the difference between these two visions of Society's Breakthrough 2002 vs. 2020.
