Gentle Action: Bringing Creative Change to a Turbulent World

Gentle Action by F. David Peat is a remarkable short book, packed with sage advice. This is not some fluffy New Age concept, but rather a well-considered exploration of how communities, nations and societies interact, succeed and fail. The subtitle of the book, "Bringing Creative Change to a Turbulent World," says it all, and the author's insistence that effective change must happen from within is supported by examples from quantum physics, wave theory, chaos theory, and the study of self-organizing systems. F. David Peat is a respected and prolific author on a variety of subjects, from Native American physics to Jungian psychology and quantum mechanics. This little volume is packed with great food for thought. The questions at the end of each chapter required good reflection. Recommended for any leader feeling stuck and anyone desiring creative change in their company, church, social group, nation, world, or family. I guess that means all of us!

Well written, however it seem to lose momentum as I read futher into the book. I still think it is worth the read.

just finished this gem. concise and high information density, prose that pulls the reader in and along, a perspective on world problems that includes aspects i had not yet encountered, and i've read a LOT about said problems.i would pair it with Evolution: The General Theory by Laszlo

Interesting concept... when the structures are too daunting to change, gentle action might be the emergent solution
