The author talks about a coming "Great Transition" as we move through the multiple challenges we face using the term "lift" to describe what is needed.

First, of course, and simplest, is make your own list of answers and share them. Brainstorm 15-18 answers to the question on a piece of paper or on a note in your favorite device. I am most interested in your intuitions, based on your life experience, of what it will take. Pick the 8-10 from the list that you think are your best answers and send them to me in an email or <a rel="nofollow" class="ydp1d87bdb2enhancr_card_4102544268" href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F8YQCMM">use this link</a> to share your answers.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">2.
