Senge, Director of the Society for Organizational Learning and author of The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization ""This seminal work is an inspiration to all of us who see collaborative dialogue and conversational leadership (including teaching) as a powerful path for accessing the kind of collective wisdom that is so needed in today's challenging times."" - Juanita Brown, Cofounder of The World Cafe and coauthor of The World Cafe: Shaping Our Future through Conversations That Matter ""Bache does for teaching what Galileo did for skywatching, opening our horizons to an entirely new dimension of both theory and practice. His articulation of this expanded perspective is superbly precise, and the implications are profound."" - Richard Tarnas, Professor of Philosophy and Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies and author of The Passion of the Western Mind ""What a joy to read this book by a master teacher with a new vision for educators."" - Marilyn Schlitz, Director of Research and Education, Institute of Noetic Sciences ""This may be the shortest endorsement on record-just one word repeated twice: True, true."" - Ervin Laszlo, author of The Connectivity Hypothesis: Foundations of an Integral Science of Quantum, Cosmos, Life, and Consciousness ""Chris Bache has written an important and pathbreaking book about collective consciousness in the classroom. This thoughtful and delightful read is at the forefront of education for the twenty-first century."" - Alfonso Montuori, Chair, Department of Transformative Inquiry, California Institute of Integral Studies"
