-
Acclaimed philosopher Theodore Zeldin takes us in search of what a full and flourishing life could be.

With examples from every corner of human experience - from work, to relationships, to business and politics - Zeldin reveals how our society is full of untapped potential for richer, more creative human interactions. It is only by truly relating to others that we can break out of our stultifying patterns of thought and behaviour, and glimpse the fullness of what it is possible to experience as a human being.

• Use your head! They always tell you that. They never tell you how
• Being One--get your whole head behind you. A truly subversive idea
• Only humans live in imagined realities. Money, nations, are conceptual realities
• The Great Disruption: Unleashing the Power to Create
• "I don't have any good ideas"
• The Power of Vulnerability
• The Power of Empathy
