Emergence Vol 1 - Introduction

This eye-opening book will show you why people think the way they do, why some are so difficult to deal with, and why they disagree with each other so much. It also throws light on the great changes happening in the world. It is a simple introduction to Spiral Dynamics Integral (SDi), based on the work of Professor Clare Graves. For decades it has been successfully employed around the globe creating and implementing solutions to social conflicts and business problems.
SDi shows that human nature is not fixed. It evolves. The way people think depends on their life conditions, as we can see from watching children's thinking develop as they grow up. And we have the in-built capacity to think in new more complex ways when our life conditions change. Organisations, nations and civilisations evolve in exactly the same way.
Each stage of development on the spiral of the evolution of consciousness is characterised by a value system that contains and permeates every aspect of our lifestyle or culture, yet the core values and beliefs are tucked away so deeply inside us that we are not usually aware of them and are surprised when others do not share them.
Understanding how this evolutionary dynamic manifests in individuals, societies and cultures provides the key to building good relationships by ending friction ranging from office arguments to major conflicts and wars.
And you may be surprised to find that everyone is doing the best they can, all the time. Even if what they do looks stupid or wrong to observers - anger, violence, blaming others, running away, not doing what they agreed to do, taking refuge in illness - it may be the only way a person can cope. The only way they know how to cope at their level of evolution.
