About the Book

Presence explores a new theory of change and learning. In wide-ranging conversations held over a year and a half, Senge, Scharmer, Jaworski, and Flowers explored their own experiences and those of one hundred and fifty scientists and social and business entrepreneurs in an effort to explain how profound collective change occurs. They articulate a new way of seeing the world, and of understanding our part in creating it - as it is and as it might be. The book introduces the idea of 'presence' - a concept borrowed from the natural world which asserts that the whole is entirely present in any of its parts - and applies it to the worlds of business, education, government and leadership. Too often, we remain stuck in old patterns of seeing and acting. By encouraging deeper levels of learning, we create an awareness of the larger whole, leading to actions that can help to shape its evolution and our future. Radical and hopeful, Presence synthesises leading-edge thinking, first-hand knowledge and ancient wisdom to examine what connects us to one another, to life more broadly and, potentially, to what is seeking to emerge. It goes on to define the capabilities that underlie our ability to see, sense, and realize new possibilities in ourselves, our institutions and organisations, and in society.

Review :
"Presence is a timely and altogether important book. Drawing on a leading-edge understanding of human learning and awareness, it offers a simple but effective gateway to our capacity to become change agents of the future - in business, work and relationships. Finding our presence is finding the key to creative change and to our own future." Ken Wilber, A Theory of Everything: An Integral Vision for Business, Politics, Science, and Spirituality "A remarkable book, Presence is a journey from the present to an unknown future, a journey of exploration rather than dogma, and a journey toward a vision of humanity at its highest. Like a good documentary, Presence is a book with "emotional truth," a wonderful combination of intellectual and visceral experience" Robert Fritz, The Path of Least Resistance "At this turbulent juncture in human history, a whole new set of social innovations promises to shift humanity away from its destructive path towards a brighter planetary civilization. Presencing and its U process is one of the most profound. It provides all who want to change the world not only with profound hope, but with a systematic and effective way to birth a sustainable planetary society. Nicanor Perlas, Recipient of the 2003 Alternative Nobel Prize and the U.N. Environmental Program Global 500 Award "Collective inner knowing allows the future to speak to the present - if we allow ourselves to be in the "flow" of knowledge as it emerges. It is perhaps the one source of sustained innovation of the character and scale needed to redesign human communities." Roger Saillant, CEO, Plug Power (former executive, Ford Motor Company)"
