ABSTRACT
Given that these elements seem vital for human flourishing, this chapter argues that it would be wise to proactively cultivate and nurture the soul. It argues that the seven elements identified work together to promote a sense of mattering, which acts as community glue. Emotion and the Sixth Sense signal feelings of mattering and help to calibrate the deployment of free will, particularly in the face of uncertainty. When mistakes are made, the emotions compel reparation. Over time, the human yearning for meaning drives a search for purpose, which provides a narrative for the sustaining of communities into future generations. Given the importance of this design, the chapter takes each element in turn, making suggestions about how best to invest in each one.
