How is your book helping others?

Janet M. Harvey, the CEO of the innovative human development company inviteCHANGE, has trained global Fortune 500 leaders for nearly 30 years. She’s done so successfully using the innovative vehicle of Generative Change. As Harvey writes, she wants to “make your head hurt.” And indeed this book does just that as the Generative Change Journey to Generative Wholeness is now made available to a wider audience. It’s all about giving up your “expected identity” and harnessing the tension that results – so that “all of you” is brought to the fore. The book begins with “making it yours” (reflection as active process; fearless use of intuition); moves to Generative Wholeness (trust the unknown; “notice” to build resilience); pulling back for perspective; leadership dilemmas (be alert to autopilot mindset; be curious versus reactive).
And tension as a deliberate tool for solutions and judgment as one for inspiring wonder.
This important book is life- and business-changing.

Spencer Daniel Rosenberg

How is your book helping others?

My novel is fictional manifesto embedded in the story of a scientist turned political activist who explores a method of unifying the public to improve the social consciousness of government and prevent the rise of tyrants who may threaten human extinction. It asks whether we might use advances in the behavioral and natural sciences to seize our destiny or must leave our future to the vagaries of nature or fated day of Biblical prophecy. To further human survival, his group proposes a transformative, developmentally informed educational program coupled with the possible use of gene therapy over multiple generations. Their ultimate aim is to promote a collective effort to ensure international safety and security in an otherwise perilous world bereft of moral altruism and social cohesiveness. The author calls for further ideas on the subject and the creation of a self-sustaining organization called "People's Will" to implement them. After all, billions of heads must be better than one.
