7 Practices for Transforming Self, Society, and Business

By: Otto Scharmer, Katrin Kaufer

Narrated by: Asa Siegel

A revolutionary guide to catalyzing multi-system change and planetary healing.

We are living in a time of unprecedented crisis and breakdown. But amid the chaos, small "islands of coherence" are emerging—localized pockets of pioneering thought leaders taking action to begin to catalyze multi-system transformation.

Incorporating proven frameworks like Social Fields and the Collective Evolutionary Mirror, the authors share transformative real-world stories of these islands of coherence from the frontlines of change across the globe. You'll go inside the experiences of paradigm-shifting change makers and gain powerful practices for sensing and actualizing the future that wants to emerge.

This book outlines seven critical contributions for elevating our civilization, including becoming aware, generative listening, dialogue and co-sensing, presencing, ecosystem leadership, co-creating across boundaries, and building unity.

With this holistic guide, you'll discover how your local actions can cascade into a planetary movement for human and ecological flourishing. The next renaissance is emergent—be a part of birthing it into reality.
