Getting It: Withness-Thinking and the Dialogical...In Practice

by John Shotter

In this compelling thought sparking book the author shows us the value of withiness-thinking as a fresh approach to both the familiar and new challenges of our daily lives. Through his fluency in the terrain of the dialogical he invites us, and his trains of thought tell us how, to think with so as to inquire into and approach these challenges in ways that increase the opportunity for never imagined possibilities of how we might act next. Not just any kind of thinking: thinking with involves a special way of being with, responding with and doing with-participating spontaneously in the moment rather than thinking about for or to another person as an object of study or mastery.
