Her message is simple: back to the very roots of our humanness. She claims - and she really has evidence for that tracing back thousands of years - that the way forward in organizing our communities, organizations, institutions and all collectivities one can think of, is to rely on innate human creativity, resourcefulness, self - responsibility, sense of belonging and desire for meaningful change. The world, she claims, more than ever needs leaders that can nourish the above characteristics on people. Command & control is dead; restrictions fail; regulations fade; rules ignored...We are human, after all.
"The wave"; I finally read it. I knew the story from the homonymous movie. Very inspiring and great reading for an evening (it's really small and easily read).
I started "Learning to be" and from the first pages, I can see why it is such a prominent book and what makes it so relevant even nowadays, almost 40 years after it's first edition.
And finally, I recently bought "Does God play dice?"
At www.biblio.com, I found the cheapest and rarest books ever, including Coombs' "World educational crisis". Recommended!
