Summary

On Monday's Gist, we're counting Pulitzers and powering up. Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms sort power into two categories: old and new. Old power is like Congress: top-down, official. New power is like Facebook: decentralized, crowd-sourced. What is the best way to meld both kinds of influence to improve our lives? Heimans and Timms have the beginnings of an answer. They're the authors of New Power: How Power Works in Our Hyperconnected World – and How to Make It Work for You. In the Spiel, James Comey does seem ego-driven. That's not always a bad thing.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
