In part four, we explore what makes conversations compelling and thought-provoking. When information is presented in a story, it reaches us deeply. Metaphors can provide instinctive understanding. With questions, we can gently guide others' attention to a place where we can reach a common truth.
The third part describes how we interpret reality with an internal map. If we do not understand each other's maps, we talk past each other and find it difficult to reach each other. With an understanding of how public narratives are constructed, we can see which pieces of the puzzle need to be added to the map. When we understand how propaganda is constructed, we can more easily detect when it is used.
