Thriving: The Breakthrough Movement to Regenerate Nature, Society, and the Economy

I am happy to say that this book is a jewel for those interested in the latest trends in sustainability innovation and management. Not only because it shows an evolution of the integrated value creation model presented more than 10 years before in Argentina, but also the leadership model that he has been developing since his Phd. In his prologue you will see that he mentions "Hope", something that Jorge Luis Borges, the famous argentinian writer also told us in one of his poems, quoted at the Ecumenic Social Forum ceremony awards last year in Argentina and very necessary for the times that we live in today where we all need to thrive.The book shows how even in a chaotic situation like this, everything can be coped with. Optimism is critical for our societies to create and sustain conditions for increased life in all species. It is not a denial of the scale of the problems the world is facing right now, nor a medical solution or cure or a self-help book, but rather an attempt to marry applicable systems thinking to a pragmatic offer of hope, purposed driven by creativity and innovation. A book under the rules of transformational movements. This last point is the essence of "Thriving". Wayne Visser, besides being an educator is also a poet and a "possibilist", a state of mind and a state of being that the great "change makers" have.Do not loose the opportunity to have this jewel in your hands, specially for those interested in systems thinking applyed to sustainability and innovation.

Best book I have read in years
