Reviews
'The author of Integral Advantage manages to facilitate a pathway of appreciation and reason into the complex cosmology surrounding the development of emerging societies within our universe. It also gives a voice to a reality often silent and unrepresented within our global landscape...' Bennie Anderson, CEO of Da Vinci Institute, South Africa 'This remarkable book written by Professor Lessem underlies future hope for the sustainable integral society, exploring the emotional truth of social innovation. He re-visits the modern economic concept of the BRICS, transforming it into the ecology of holistic philosophy , re-framing it into the GENE-ius that characterizes the Trans4m Centre for Integral Development in Geneva, and finding unique cultural, social, economic and spiritual paradigms of Brazil, the Russia which I have known so well, India, China and South Africa, reflecting systematic and effective ways of integral advantage, giving birth to new perspectives for the local-global reach.' J. Lapidus, Business strategist of Zerno Consulting, Latvia - South Africa 'Ronnie Lessem's insights into the very soul and soil of India provide a rich and fertile ground for an integral model of development; not just for the renewal of Indian society but for the advantage of the world at large.' Sudhanshu Palsule, Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, India 'One of the most critical aspects of our times is to find the references that will guide our transition toward a more sustainable and humane civilization. Ronnie Lessem provides such a guidance by offering new examplars and frameworks, inspiring questions that deepen our Brazilian inquiry.' Thais Corral, social innovator, founder of Sinal do Vale and Adapta Sertao 'The author has successfully articulated the complicated individual and social systems of the Chinese. An understanding of the Chinese conceptualization of Egocentricism , Xiaokang and Chinese Pragmatism is very necessary for gaining the knowledge of how this second largest single economy of the World will impact on the global social and economic development.' Junie Tong, Staffordshire University, UK
