knowledge and ancient wisdom Presence: Human Purpose and the Field of the
Future gives the reader an intimate look at the development of a new theory
about change and learning. A book built around a series of wide-ranging
conversations over a year and a half, Senge, Scharmer, Jaworski, and Flowers
explore their own experiences and those of one hundred and fifty scientists and
social and business entrepreneurs in an effort to explain how profound
collective change occurs. Their journey of discovery articulates a new way of
seeing the world, and of understanding our part in creating it - as it is and
as it might be. Presence explores the living fields that connect us to one
another, to life more broadly, and, potentially, to what is "seeking to
emerge." Seven capacities underlie our ability to see, sense, and realize new
possibilities. Developing these capacities accesses a deeper level of learning
that is the key to creating change that services the whole - ourselves, our
organizations and the communities of which we are a part.
