Leadership and the New Science
by
The new edition of the bestselling, acclaimed, and influential guide to applying the new science to organizations and management. In this new edition, Margaret Wheatley describes how the new science radically alters our understanding of the world and how it can teach us to live and work well together in these chaotic times. We live in a time of chaos, rich in potential for new possibilities. A new world is being born. We need new ideas, new ways of seeing, and new relationships to help us now. New science--the new discoveries in biology, chaos theory, and quantum physics that are changing our understanding of how the world works--offers this guidance. It describes a world where chaos is natural, where order exists "for free." It displays the intricate webs of cooperation that connect us. It assures us that life seeks order, but uses messes to get there. This book will teach you how to move with greater certainty and easier grace into the new forms of organizations and communities that are taking shape. You'll learn that: * Relationships are what matters--even at the subatomic level * Life is a vast web of interconnections where cooperation and participation are required * Chaos and change are the only route to transformation In this expanded edition, Wheatley provides examples of how non-linear networks and self-organizing systems are flourishing in the modern world. In the midst of turbulence, Wheatley shows, we create work and lives rich in meaning.

A New Operating Manual for Being Human
by
We have been led to believe, or molded into believing, in a limited conception of what is humanly possible! There is currently emerging, however, a redefinition as to what is humanly possible.. a new conception of our human heritage.. Humanistic/Holistic psychology is this new, developing theory of human development which challenges some of the underlying premises that have dominated American Psychological thought since the 1900's. It is often referred to as "the third force" and is distinct from Psychoanalysis and Behaviorism, which have been the two previous forces in American psychology. This book provides the reader with the basic structure of this emerging orientation as well as its practical applications in the areas of counseling and personal growth. It is time to stop selling ourselves short!
