Summary: What increasingly affects all of us, whether professional planners or individuals preparing for a better future, is not the tangibles of life?bottom-line numbers, for instance?but the intangibles: our hopes and fears, our beliefs and dreams. Only stories?scenarios?and our ability to visualize different kinds of futures adequately capture these intangibles.
