George Lakoff is one of the most highly recognized thinkers and teachers on language and public discourse today. His popular 2004 book, Don't Think of an Elephant, helped progressive Americans understand how to avoid common language traps when talking about our civic enterprise. His new work, Thinking Points, is available on-line through the Rockridge Institute, where Dr. Lakoff serves as senior fellow.   A linguistics professor at the University of California-Berkeley for the last 35 years, Dr. Lakoff's theories of how people communicate have created new ways of thinking about human interaction.
