Holonomics

'A manifesto for mindful living.'-- Satish Kumar'A must read for any forward thinking business.'-- Alan Moore, author of No Straight Lines: making sense of our non-linear world, and, Designing for Transformation'While great poets, artists and modern scientists intuitively see reality as relationships, economics, politicians and business leaders fail to understand how parts and the whole relate to each other. Holonomics presents a powerful mode of thinking, for a new, life-enhancing approach to human economic activity. I urge all economists, public officials and people in business to connect with this timely and important message.'-- H. Thomas Johnson, author of Profit Beyond Measure, and Relevance Lost: The Rise and Fall of Management Accounting'A timely, radical and deeply insightful book.'-- Giles Hutchins, author of The Nature of Business'This remarkable book distills the essence of the ideas and values taught at Schumacher College, and shows how these teachings can be applied, with many case studies of enlightened business. A powerful antidote to today's dominant culture.'-- Fritjof Capra, author of The Hidden Connections'What a gift to have these monumental, mind-changing ideas woven together skilfully in one book.'-- Margaret J Wheatley, author of Leadership and the New Science'I have no doubt that this lucid integration of holistic science and business practices that do not ruin the Earth will rapidly become a landmark text.'-- Stephan Harding, editor of Grow Small, Think Beautiful'For those who think that we must choose between environmental well-being and economic stability, here is a book that challenges that division. The authors show how business leaders can move beyond narrowly materialistic, reductionist frameworks toward more creative, imaginative and holistic visions of our sustainable, economic future.'-- Professor Ingrid Leman Stefanovic, author of Safeguarding Our Common Future: Rethinking Sustainable Development
