- 13. 13| No, it’s a picture Your brain can’t help itself. It starts to fill in all the missing pieces. How do we know this picture isn’t a story all by itself? Because your story isn’t the same as the person next to you. Your brain supplies all the assumptions, the intentionality and projects action based on your own models and biases.

- 27. 27| Assumptions: Archetypal Impact The most powerful and iconic brands embody archetypes Archetypes extend communication to cultural values and meanings Archetypal patterns become filters for understanding events Myths: • Simple stories with archetypal roots • Help people make sense out of the world • Provide ideas to live by • Resolve life’s most difficult questions • Icons are encapsulated myths
