Beschreibung

Finalist in the Leadership - Think Differently category of the Goody Business Book Awards 2024 The pandemic, climate change, rising populism, geo-political unrest - just a few of the issues causing turbulence in todays world. We are living and working in times that are complex and fast changing. The Dao of Complexity is a book about challenging and deepening worldviews. It explores the remarkable resonance between complexity and Daoism, engaging with the processual, contextual and emergent nature both of ourselves and of the world of which we are a part. It connects to ideas from such diverse fields as quantum physics, brain science, political theory and economics. Jean asks what making sense of the world means in these turbulent times and how that can galvanise action for those of us trying to make a difference, trying to make waves in a world of increasing connectivity, polarisation and fragility. Taking its lead from Daoist texts, the design encourages readers to open at any page and use the short, stand-alone, yet networked pieces as reflective starting points. This book will be of interest to scholars and those striving for social change, as well as managers and policy makers looking for inspiration. The general reader interested in science, philosophy and ancient wisdom will find relatable material to explore how to engage effectively in this complex world.
