Inhaltsangabe

There are over 140 stories in this collection, from ancient to contemporary, from all points of the compass and organized by theme. The stories invite us to wake up, stop taking ourselves so damned seriously, look at the world from perspectives other than our own, and recognize that only by changing ourselves can we reconnect with what is truly important in life.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

What are we called to do in our lives and how can we discover and express our personal and professional genius and purpose? Not easy questions but Nick has been struggling with and exploring them for himself and with others through his writing, editing, and storytelling, as well as in workshops, seminars and coaching sessions with individuals, educational institutions, professional bodies, organisations, and the arts for the last several decades. These days his primary professional passions catalyse around two areas. Firstly, the development of shared narratives that explore how schools, NGOs, and large organisations would do well to be more fully human, more self-organising and self-managing and less stuck in the old paradigms of autocracy, hierarchy, ego, power and control. Secondly, how can people entering the Third Act of their lives see their future less as a surrender into retirement and more as an opportunity to transition into a generative and creative period of contribution and personal exploration of their life's true purpose? In a whole variety of exciting ways, these two areas are both evolutionary and deeply interconnected.
