We are living in a moment of profound disruption, a moment when one civilisation is ending and another is about to be born. To truly understand the deeper essence of this moment, we must extend our inquiry from the outside world to the one that emerges from within. In this book, Manish Srivastava guides us through this journey of extending systems thinking with the means of social poetry. He takes us on a creative pathway towards what matters most today – our inner development. Highly personal, highly recommended!
