About the author

Margaret Wheatley, Ed.D. began caring about the world’s peoples in 1966 as a Peace Corps volunteer in post-war Korea. As a consultant, senior-level advisor, teacher, speaker, and formal leader, she has worked on all continents (except Antarctica) with all levels, ages, and types of organizations, leaders, and activists. Her work now focuses on developing and supporting leaders globally as Warriors for the Human Spirit. These leaders put service over self, stand steadfast through crises and failures, and make a difference for the people and causes they care about. With compassion and insight, they know how to invoke people’s inherent generosity, creativity, kindness, and community–no matter what’s happening around them.

Margaret has written ten books, including the classic Leadership and the New Science, and been honored for her pathfinding work by many professional associations, universities, and organizations. She received her Doctorate from Harvard University in 1979, an M.A. in Media Ecology from NYU in 1974, and a B.A. from University of Rochester in 1966. She spent a year at University College London 1964-65.

Een troostrijk prachtig boek over hoe we ons kunnen verhouden tot de aarde en de wereld van nu.

[M.j. Radosevich · Rating 4 out of 5]

I always enjoying reading the writings of Margaret Wheatley because they invite reflection and sharing. This one is part poetry, philosophical insight and science. This mediation memoir reminds one of how we are all with Mother Earth so connected and interdependent. The threads that bind are sacred and if we only remembered then we would be more reverent to each other. I really give this a 4.5 stars ...I just can't get the program to show it that way!

I loved it. I'm grateful for the words, the thoughts, the images. We can access the sacred even today in the modern world.
