The Tao of Democracy describes a new vision of politics and governance that can simultaneously address our unprecedented social problems and build a society that works for all. It demonstrates how very different people can now find creative common ground and shared wisdom together. And it tells us how to use that fact to bring our dusty old politics up to speed, and find the wisdom we need to safely navigate the 21st century.While the political vision in The Tao of Democracy is new, it is grounded in dozens of proven group processes, techniques and political models which it describes in detail. Before it was published, its chapters on the new activism were already being excerpted by leading alternative journals.Based on the philosophical insights of Eastern spirituality, modern systems thinking and recent developments in dialogue and social self-organization, The Tao of Democracy shows how a few relatively simple changes in our political institutions can produce a wise government of the people, by the people and for the people, at last.The real-life stories, creative ideas and explicit how-to guidance in this book offer inspiration and tools for everyone who wants effective groups, healthy communities and a better world.Atlee, Tom is the author of 'Tao Of Democracy Using Co-intelligence To Create A World That Works For All', published 2002 under ISBN 9781591095200 and ISBN 1591095204.
