Holistic Learning:
Would You Play A One-String Guitar?
Learning is like playing a guitar. Most of us have been trained to play
one string — our rational mind. We have at least five other strings, and
if we learn to play them well, and keep them properly tuned, we can make
limitless music in our learning and can then go on to encourage others
to do the same. Our learning potential: 1) emotional 2) relational 3) physical
4) metaphoric or intuitive 5) spiritual and 6) rational. — Virginia R.
Griffin

Beyond Good and Evil
This work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with
its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche, with wit and energy,
turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and
demands that the individual imposes their own "will to power" upon the
world.
—Friedrich Nietzsch

take a hike
Youth At Risk
Foundation
.
What if you thought there wasn’t a choice, or a positive path to take?
What if your only guidance came from the street, where education and well-being
weren’t valued? Youth need guidance, they need strong role models, they
need to be surrounded by people who care.
Take a Hike engages at-risk youth through a unique combination of adventure-based
learning, counseling, academics and community involvement.

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
Blink is about the first two seconds of looking--the decisive glance
that knows in an instant. Gladwell, the best-selling author of "The Tipping
Point", campaigns for snap judgments and mind reading with a gift for translating
research into splendid storytelling. Building his case with scenes from
a marriage, heart attack triage, speed dating, choking on the golf course,
selling cars, and military maneuvers, he persuades readers to think small
and focus on the meaning of "thin slices" of behavior.

Theory U: Leading from the Future as it Emerges
In this ground-breaking book, Otto Scharmer invites us to see the world
in new ways. Fundamental problems, as Einstein once noted, cannot be solved
at the same level of thought that created them. What we pay attention to,
and how we pay attention - both individually and collectively - is key
to what we create.
—C. Otto Scharmer
