But what enables us to collectively make wise choices and sound judgments instead of splintering apart?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen human beings gather together, a depth of awareness and insight, a transcendent knowing, becomes available. Based on nine years of research \u003ci\u003eThe Power of Collective Wisdom\u003c\/i\u003e shows how we can tap into the extraordinary cocreative potential that exists in every group. Collective wisdom is elusive and unpredictable—it can’t be willed into being, but the authors describe six commitments people can adopt that will increase the likelihood of its appearing. Stories and historical examples throughout serve to illuminate and illustrate how collective wisdom has emerged in a range of settings and through the lives and traditions of varied cultures. Equally important, the authors describe how to recognize the pitfalls of polarization or false agreement, either of which can lead to collective folly—a phenomenon with which recent history has made us all too familiar. And they offer a set of practices to help readers maintain the key lessons of the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Power of Collective Wisdom\u003c\/i\u003e is a foundational book for an emerging field of study and practice relevant to everyone seeking more effective and satisfying ways of working with others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“This book takes knowledge about groups and elevates it to a field and a movement.” —Peter Block, author of \u003ci\u003eCommunity\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStewardship\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50957815415072,"sku":"9781576754450","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781576754450.jpg?v=1763763380","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/the-power-of-collective-wisdom","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
