Contents:
Introduction -- Principles of emergent strategy -- Elements of emergent strategy -- Fractals: the relationship between small and large -- Intentional adaptation: how we change -- Interdependence and decentralization: who we are and how we share -- Nonlinear and iterative: the pace and pathways of change -- Resilience: how we recover and transform -- Creating more possibilities: how we move towards life -- Conversations -- Assess yourself: your emergent strategy journal -- Spells and practices for emergent strategy -- Tools for emergent strategy facilitation -- Outro.
Summary: "Inspired by Octavia Butler's explorations of our human relationship to change, Emergent Strategy is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live. Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, this book invites us to feel, map, assess, and learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand and influence them as they happen. This is a resolutely materialist "spirituality" based equally on science and science fiction, a visionary incantation to transform that which ultimately transforms us."--Amazon.com.
