● 內文簡介

全球暢銷書《Synchronicity》作者Joseph Jaworski的最新力作《Source》,再次帶領讀者進行一趟深度的精神拓展之旅,抵達創造力和深度學習的根源。

我們正面對著前所未有的變化,不論是速度、強度和複雜度都超越過去我們所認知的。正因為我們面臨著巨大的變化,作者認知到:傳統的領導力分析模式已經遠不能滿足創新精神,以及應付複雜度越來越高的問題。為了有效應對這些挑戰,領導者們需要找到能夠不斷產生創新的真正源泉。

許多人包括作者在內都曾有過創意爆發的時刻,尤其是在危急關頭要做出反應時,突然靈光乍現,產生無限的直覺力和洞察力,做出最自然的反應和行動。然而,這種經歷是可遇而不可求的,我們不知道該如何去接觸創造力和創新的真正源泉,甚至不知道它的存在。

在《Source》一書中,作者講述一個接觸創造力和創新源泉的「U型流程」(U Process)發展的故事,融合了物理學、認知科學、心理學及精神傳統等學科,又分享他個人與量子物理學家、認知科學家、土著領袖以及思想家的奇妙對話,共同深索創造力和創新源泉的核心的問題。最終,他總結出四條基本法則,有助人們獲得創造力和創新的真正源泉。這四條基本法則為:

★There is an open and emergent quality to the universe.
★The universe is a domain of undivided wholeness; both the material world and consciousness are part of the same undivided whole.
★There is a creative Source of infinite potential enfolded in the universe.
★Humans can learn to draw from the infinite potential of the Source by choosing to follow a disciplined path toward self-realization and love, the most powerful energy in the universe.

作者將陳述與反思完美結合,為讀者奉獻接觸創造力和創新的根本之源的方法,不僅闡述一個富有遠見的領導力的本質特徵,同時清楚描繪意識形態與最終實現這些特質的方法,是一本極具啟發性的著作。

“Source is one of the most compelling and original books on leadership I have read. Not only does it deepen our understanding of leadership, it brings us closer to a fuller understanding of our authentic self, the source of effective leadership.” ──Warren Bennis, University Professor, University of Southern California and author of Still Surprised: A Memoir of a Life in Leadership

“A gem. Jaworski takes us on a personal journey to the source of creation. Profound and inspiring.” ──W. Brian Arthur, economist and author of The Nature of Technology

“Source is an impressive account of Jaworski’s lifelong quest into the underlying realities of life. It provides in a convincing way and at the right time the kind of insights we need to shape our future. This book is a must-read for everyone who aspires to a leading role in creating the next stage of human civilization.” ──Herman Wijffels, former CEO, Rabobank; former Chairman, Social and Economic Council of the Netherlands; and former board member, The World Bank
