Critics 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)”
