The Momentous Leap - Thriveable Transformation in the 21st Century: : Healing Ourselves, Healing Our Planet (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781719884334)

The Momentous Leap, the 7th book by award winning author Dr Robin Lincoln Wood, explores the most exciting transition humanity has ever experienced. Right now, across our planet, people are developing worldcentric, systemic perspectives and capabilities that will not only resolve most of the challenges we currently face - they will also transform our species and what it means to be human. Imagine a world powered by renewable energy, where all human beings thrive in resilient habitats; where businesses operate in a circular economy that regenerates natural capital, without a particle of waste, led by enlightened leaders whose goal is to maximize the thriving of all stakeholders; where each individual is empowered to pursue their passion and make a living in service to others; where governance systems are transparent, effective and wise in the ways in which they deliver their services to their communities and populations; and where intercultural appreciation and insight enriches the exchanges between the diverse worldviews and cultures embraced by humankind. Does that sound like an impossible dream? Every single one of these "pockets of the future" is currently observable in the present, right here and right now, somewhere in the world. This exceptional book is a guide for those who wish to understand and take part in this global transformation, showing us how to connect and align with the pockets of the future in the present that will become mainstream reality for most of us by 2030. You will also discover the roots of the rapidly growing regenerative, distributive economy, along with the emerging social and political systems that can ensure a thriving future for us all, and a flourishing biosphere for all life on earth. You will learn how to transcend and master the apparent chaos and complexity inherent in our globalized, post-modern world, so that you can not only adapt to the massive shifts underway, but also help shape them. Despite the doom and gloom of many today, there are 700 million plus people leading the way toward a thriveable future- what Peter Drucker called: "Getting into our strategic psychological helicopter and transcending the problem," enabling challenges to be viewed from multiple perspectives and producing breakthroughs at emergent, unprecedented levels of thinking. You will discover how enlightened mainstream leaders (many still "undercover"), are shifting their policies, businesses and investments toward renewable energy, resilient cities, circular economies and conscious leadership; and how those making the leap from the cultural creative world also number in the many millions, especially the activists, organisers and civil society leaders. You will also learn of the artistic, cultural, design and social leaders inspiring a tsunami of talent doing well by doing good, dedicated to making a better world and a positive difference, along with the younger generations now surfing this big wave, embracing a broad diversity of visionary actors of all ages that are reshaping whole social, economic, cultural and educational systems in more holistic, joined up ways. We are operating in a turbulent field of social transformation. The ride is guaranteed to be full of shocks and surprises, as well as amazing new opportunities. You can be a part of a thriving future that regenerates our biosphere and our global civilisation to be a more peaceful, sustainable and enjoyable place to live. The rewards of healing yourself, and healing our planet at the same time, are immense. No matter where you are on your own journey, applying the thinking and frameworks in this book to improve your own practices and skills will help you become more focused and powerful in your efforts. Your fellow travelers are already out there, waiting for you to connect up with them, and make the momentous leap together.
