Strategies of Genius Volume IV (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947629523)

In Strategies of Genius Volume IV, Robert Dilts explores the architecture of human genius through the lives and work of four extraordinary innovators: Milton H. Erickson, Gregory Bateson, Moshe Feldenkrais, and Gabrielle Roth. Although each worked in a different field-psychotherapy, systems theory, movement education, and expressive dance-they shared a remarkable capacity to facilitate change that was natural, ecological and deeply generative.

This book uncovers the fundamental patterns of perception, relationship, embodiment, and awareness that gave rise to their genius. Dilts reveals how each master invited transformation by working with the innate intelligence of living systems rather than attempting to control them.

Readers will discover:

• The common principles that unite different approaches to change
• How unconscious, embodied and systemic intelligence work together to generate learning and transformation
• The role of awareness, movement, metaphor, relationship and context in unlocking human potential
• Practical models and experiential exercises for developing greater flexibility, creativity, resilience and presence
• How these timeless principles illuminate the emerging field of Generative Intelligence-the capacity to create new patterns, newmeanings, and new possibilities in ourselves, our organizations, and our world

Richly illustrated with stories, practical applications, and integrative models drawn from more than four decades of research and practical application, Strategies of Genius Volume IV offers both an inspiring tribute to four remarkable pioneers and a practical guide for anyone committed to participating in the evolution of human learning, leadership, creativity and consciousness.

The future belongs not to those who possess existing knowledge but to those who can continually generate new possibilities. This book is an invitation to become one of them.
