Böcker av Danah Zohar

This highly original book offers a new philosophy and vision of higher purpose for leaders facing the immense challenges of the21stCentury. But the roots of this new philosophy and sense of higher purpose are both ancient and modern, drawn both from traditional Chinese thought that had its beginnings thousands of years ago and from quantum physics, first discovered at the beginning of the 20thcentury.By exploring Western quantum physics and traditional Chinese thought, leading management thinker Danah Zohar develops an emergent, new East/West vision that leads not just to global co-operation but to an exciting and revolutionary global-co-creativity. Today's business leaders who can gain a knowledge of Chinese thought and see its expression alongside the more scientific language of quantum science stand to gain the foundation for a new leadership vision and style, based on moral renewal, greater cross-cultural understanding and global harmony

In The Quantum Self, Danah Zohar argues that the insights of modem physics can illuminate our understanding of everyday life -- our relationships to ourselves, to others, and to the world at large. Guiding us through the strange and fascinating workings of the subatomic realm to create a new model of human consciousness, the author addresses enduring philosophical questions. Does the new physics provide a basis by which our consciousness might continue beyond death? How does the material world (for instance, ugly inner cities) impinge upon our sense of self? Is there a subatomic wellspring from which our creativity, our empathy with others, and our feelings of unity with the inanimate world originate?Most important, Zohar shows how the vitality of the new physics combats the alienation and fragmentation of twentieth-century life, and replaces it with a model of reality in which the universe itself may possess a type of consciousness, of which human consciousness is one expression.

An inspirational new book on how to achieve sustainable capitalism and a more fulfilled life by the author of SQ (Spiritual Intelligence) and The Quantum Self

Drawing inspiration from quantum physics, innovative management thinker Danah Zohar offers a powerful new model for business thinking and practice. "e;Quantum leaders,"e; she says, like the systems they have to manage, are poised at "e;the edge of chaos."e; They thrive on the potential latent in uncertainty and are adept at unleashing the creativity of self-organization. More important, they are vision- and value-led; they adapt quickly, are unafraid to play with the boundaries and reinvent the rules, and celebrate diversity. Zohar points out that the existing, business-as-usual paradigm owes a great deal to the outdated thinking, assumptions, and values of Newtonian science, which gave rise to the Industrial Revolution. Newtonian thinking assumes that corporations and markets are like machines--predictable, stable, and controllable; they are best managed in a way that eliminates risk and assures equilibrium. Unfortunately, as the global financial collapse of 2008 demonstrated, this way of thinking is as obsolete as the steam engine. Further developing ideas she introduced in her acclaimed Rewiring the Corporate Brain and Spiritual Capital, Zohar has written an inspirational book that will motivate leaders to tap the full potential of their employees, their businesses, and the customers they serve.
