At the Intelligent Optimist, the international magazine on positive change, we celebrate people making a positive difference in a world that’s a better place than you think. We embrace the passion behind new ideas that inspire innovative solutions to some of our greatest challenges. And we explore the possibilities generated by fresh perspectives on everything from business and technology to health and the human spirit. Our magazine and our website, www.theoptimist.com, are a tribute to the idea that without optimism, nothing will ever change. |

"The Battle of Ideas is a weekend like no other. I found the 2011 festival immensely stimulating. It gave me a great deal to think about, and a whole new list of books to read - from Virgil to Vygotsky. On to greater battles in 2012!"
Ken Macleod, award-winning science fiction writer; author, The Restoration Game and Intrusion
