Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An exceptional work challenging leaders to question their assumptions about how to achieve organizational excellence . . . a new narrative for leading.” —Carol Pearson, author of The Hero Within If we are to disentangle the extraordinary challenges that we face today in organizations, communities, and nations we must transcend our divisions and develop solutions together. But what enables us to collectively make wise choices and sound judgments instead of splintering apart? When human beings gather together, a depth of awareness and insight, a transcendent knowing, becomes available. Based on nine years of research The Power of Collective Wisdom shows how we can tap into the extraordinary cocreative potential that exists in every group. Collective wisdom is elusive and unpredictable—it can’t be willed into being, but the authors describe six commitments people can adopt that will increase the likelihood of its appearing. Stories and historical examples throughout serve to illuminate and illustrate how collective wisdom has emerged in a range of settings and through the lives and traditions of varied cultures. Equally important, the authors describe how to recognize the pitfalls of polarization or false agreement, either of which can lead to collective folly—a phenomenon with which recent history has made us all too familiar. And they offer a set of practices to help readers maintain the key lessons of the book. The Power of Collective Wisdom is a foundational book for an emerging field of study and practice relevant to everyone seeking more effective and satisfying ways of working with others. “This book takes knowledge about groups and elevates it to a field and a movement.” —Peter Block, author of Community and Stewardship

Book excerpt: This is a book about man's place in nature. It is a book about ways of "seeing".

It lies, the authors say, in the collective wisdom of our elders.
Download or read book Masters of Wisdom written by Edward Abdill and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rigorous historical and philosophical examination of the controversial spiritual Masters who guided Madame H.P. Blavatsky in opening the world to Eastern and esoteric spirituality in the late nineteenth century. In the late nineteenth century, Russian noblewoman and occult philosopher Madame H.P. Blavatsky enthralled the world with revelations of an ancient “secret doctrine” behind the major faiths and a cosmic theology that united the insights of religion and science. Blavatsky said she was operating under the guidance of hidden Masters of wisdom, or mahatmas, who led her to reveal forgotten wisdom to modern people. The mythos of Blavatsky’s Masters left a deep mark on Western culture and spawned more than a century of debate: Were the Masters real? What did they teach? Are they reachable today? Now, independent scholar of religion Edward Abdill provides an authoritative, historically reliable, and delightfully readable study of the background and ideas of the Masters – in particular highlighting their message and its enduring relevance.
Download or read book Flourishing Kin written by Yuria Celidwen, Ph.D and published by Sounds True. This book was released on 2024-11-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Indigenous scholar Yuria Celidwen comes a first-of-its-kind book about our aspiration for sustainable, collective flourishing through Indigenous wisdom, traditions, and practices that bridge Indigenous and Western knowledges and ways. How do we cultivate happiness? When facing the monumental challenges of our world, we often end up disconnecting in order to focus on our mental health. Dr. Yuria Celidwen explains this focus on our own state of mind alone is precisely why so many of us struggle to flourish. “What’s been overlooked is the Indigenous perspective of relationality,” she says. “It is the understanding that happiness is only possible in community, when we cultivate our relationships toward all kin, from human to more-than-human, and to our living Earth.” Dr. Celidwen’s research shows the tremendous benefit of integrating Indigenous approaches into our approach to well-being, while recognizing the gains made by Western positive psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience. In Flourishing Kin, she identifies seven key principles found in Indigenous cultures worldwide that embrace virtue, ethical living, and spirituality. Each principle—Kin Relationality, Body Seed, Senshine, Heartfelt Wisdom, Ecological Belonging, Collective Well-Being, and Reemergence—is a seed to flourishing kin, and reveals how we can overcome isolation and climate anxiety, nourish healthy relationships with our communities and environment, and build strong foundations of well-being that elevate our life choices for the benefit of our whole planet. Sustainable collective flourishing goes beyond optimism or resilience. Offering opportunities for exploration, reflection, and personalized insight, here you’ll find shared storytelling, cultural tradition, and other forms of enhanced contemplative practice like ritual, music, movement, and art to support your journey. Through poetic expression and authentic truth telling, Dr. Celidwen invites us to experience a path to fulfillment that allows us to meet the world in all its complexity with reverence and joyous commitment to participate in the flourishing of all living beings.
Download or read book An Unknown World written by Jacob Needleman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the purpose of life on Earth? Philosopher Jacob Needleman frames man's role on the planet in a completely new and fresh way, moving beyond the usual environmental concerns to reveal how the care and maintenance of a world is something vital and basic to our existence as authentic human beings. In some of his most deeply affecting writing, Needleman draws on his childhood experiences with a terminally ill friend whose impending death forces the young boys to face questions of the meaning of existence at an early age—questions that Needleman carried with him in his explorations of science and philosophy throughout his career as a scholar of religions. The conclusions that he reaches will give all of us a new sense of the purpose of our lives and the planet we live on.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Painstakingly detailed, "The Unabridged Collective Wisdom of Trump and His Base" is a thorough examination into the cognitive depth of the current U.S. administration and its political groupies. A hilarious conversation piece for the majority of citizens, a refresher guide for deplorables and other minority factions.

Download or read book The Wisdom of Crowds written by James Surowiecki and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2005-08-16 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating book, New Yorker business columnist James Surowiecki explores a deceptively simple idea: Large groups of people are smarter than an elite few, no matter how brilliant—better at solving problems, fostering innovation, coming to wise decisions, even predicting the future. With boundless erudition and in delightfully clear prose, Surowiecki ranges across fields as diverse as popular culture, psychology, ant biology, behavioral economics, artificial intelligence, military history, and politics to show how this simple idea offers important lessons for how we live our lives, select our leaders, run our companies, and think about our world.
Download or read book Collective Wisdom written by Katerina Cizek and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to co-create—and why: the emergence of media co-creation as a concept and as a practice grounded in equity and justice. Co-creation is everywhere: It’s how the internet was built; it generated massive prehistoric rock carvings; it powered the development of vaccines for COVID-19 in record time. Co-creation offers alternatives to the idea of the solitary author privileged by top-down media. But co-creation is easy to miss, as individuals often take credit for—and profit from—collective forms of authorship, erasing whole cultures and narratives as they do so. Collective Wisdom offers the first guide to co-creation as a concept and as a practice, tracing co-creation in a media-making that ranges from collaborative journalism to human–AI partnerships. Why co-create—and why now? The many coauthors, drawing on a remarkable array of professional and personal experience, focus on the radical, sustained practices of co-creating media within communities and with social movements. They explore the urgent need for co-creation across disciplines and organization, and the latest methods for collaborating with nonhuman systems in biology and technology. The idea of “collective intelligence” is not new, and has been applied to such disparate phenomena as decision making by consensus and hived insects. Collective wisdom goes further. With conceptual explanation and practical examples, this book shows that co-creation only becomes wise when it is grounded in equity and justice. With Coauthors Juanita Anderson, Maria Agui Carter, Detroit Narrative Agency, Thomas Allen Harris, Maori Karmael Holmes, Richard Lachman, Louis Massiah, Cara Mertes, Sara Rafsky, Michèle Stephenson, Amelia Winger-Bearskin, and Sarah Wolozin

Download or read book Body Wisdom in Dialogue Rediscovering the Voice of the Goddess written by Thomas R. Flanagan Phd and published by . This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you ever stop to consider how magical, mystical, and genuinely spiritual the practice of dialogue can be? Not debate, of course. Debate is a win-lose contest, and it draws circles around winners and losers which divide us and foster ill will. I am speaking about the type of conversations - reflective deliberations - that we share with others in a circle of trust. Body Wisdom in Dialogue is a guide book for understanding the feelings that enable and sustain heartfelt discussions. Collective conversation is an ancient art which has been sustained within tribal cultures. For this reason, the book opens with a preface from the Americans for Indian Opportunities providing a view into the sacred dialogues of indigenous democracy. The first chapter reflects on the experience of thinking as individuals - which is a prelude to the phenomenon of thinking in groups. The same conditions that are needed for us to sort out complex understandings alone are needed as we sort out complex understandings together. The second chapter provides a brief history of the concept of body wisdom. The reductionist tradition of Western metaphysics comes under fire, in an honest and respectful fashion. And history comes full circle as Western sciences evolve the recognized need to once again engage complexity through inclusive community. A third chapter launches a reflective look at how we feel our way through moments of thought. When we recognize that philosophical mathematicians no less than Albert Einstein embraced this experience, we can find it easier to make peace with feelings which might seem to work against logic. Our feelings enliven our logic - challenging it for the purpose of making it more coherent - and in this sense our emotional presence is the basis for our creativity, understandings, and self discovery - our deep beliefs, our mysticism and our faith. The fourth chapter speaks to the need and the mechanism for linking body wisdom (our emotional presence) with cognitive wisdom (our constructed understandings) through dialogue. A case is made that collective reflection links us at deep levels. Dialogue allows us to democratize deeply held feelings. Collective consciousness is introduced in the fifth chapter. Conscious thinking includes learning and also remembering what is learned. Some of what we have learned is carried within us as individuals, some of what we have learned is carried among us as stories, and some takes expression in the world around us. The process is sometimes rushed. Much that mankind has done in the world has left voices out of the discussion. Inclusive dialogues - which raise collective consciousness into collective action - must move at a pace that allows the group's collective body wisdom to connect with its collective cognitive wisdom. Specific examples are provided in this chapter. The sixth chapter reaches back to antiquity to connect with a myth from the classical Greek era - the contest constructed by Aphrodite (representing prevailing power and wisdom) for Psyche (representing an emerging presence) in determining a romantic outcome (representing, we propose, the future of man). Psyche's ordeal is a metaphor for the ordeal that we face when we are engaged in inclusive, complex dialogue. A final chapter provides a glimpse of ways that large groups can fuse body wisdom with cognitive wisdom. Dialogue can leave participants with an enduring feeling that they have participated in a sacred event - that they have summoned the sublime presence of a collective wisdom. The authors do try to walk this line lightly; however, Body Wisdom in Dialogue does not side step the need for an appropriate approach to dialogue for dealing with our most pressing civic situations. Body Wisdom in Dialogue: Rediscovering the Voice of the Goddess is the second AGORAS publication by Thomas Flanagan and Ken Bausch. It follows last year's book A Democratic Approach to Sustainable Futures.
