What is the source of creativity, serenity, and deep knowing?

  • By the author of the international bestseller Synchronicity
  • An enthralling narrative of Jaworski's search for the fundamental Source of creativity and innovation
  • Draws on a fascinating range of thought-physics, cognitive science, psychology, and indigenous and spiritual traditions

As he did in his classic Synchronicity, Joseph Jaworski once again takes us on a mind-expanding journey, this time to the very heart of creativity and deep knowing.

Institutions of all sorts are facing profound change today, with complexity increasijaing at a speed and intensity we've never experienced before. Jaworski came to realize that traditional analytical leadership approaches are inadequate for dealing creatively with this complexity. To effectively face these challenges, leaders need to access the Source from which truly profound innovation flows.

Many people, including Jaworski himself, have experienced a connection with this Source, often when called upon to respond in times of crisis-moments of extreme spontaneity and intuitive insight. Actions simply flow through them, seemingly without any sort of conscious intervention. They don't think about what to do; they just know. But these experiences are chance occurrences-ordinarily, we don't know how to access the Source, and we even have a blind spot as to its very existence.

Jaworski tells the story of the development of the U Process, which enables leaders to get in touch with the Source. When two pilot projects proved the truth of what one expert had told him-that action arising from access to the Source is "shockingly effective"-Jaworski committed himself to developing an even more powerful and evolved process, one that would allow leaders to main- tain a deep and consistent connection to the Source. And he became obsessed with a truly fundamental question: what, precisely, is the nature of the Source?

In an extraordinarily wide-ranging intellectual odyssey, Jaworski relates his fascinating experiences with quantum physicists, cognitive scientists, indigenous leaders, and spiritual thinkers, all focused on getting to the heart of the Source. Ultimately, he develops four guiding principles that encompass the nature of the Source and what we need to do to stay in dynamic dialogue with it.

Using the combination of narrative and reflection that made Synchronicity so compelling, Jaworski has written a book that illuminates the essential nature not only of visionary leadership but also of relationships, consciousness, and ultimately reality itself.
