‘The authors of The Evolutionary Leap to Flourishing Individuals and Organisations offer a hopeful and provocative guide to how we humans can lead our enterprises of all types towards flourishing. Based on deep understanding of neurology, combined with increasing evidence of the effectiveness of meditation drawn from a number of wisdom traditions, the book demonstrates how we can all advance our own flourishing and that of the organizations in which we work and play. In light of the global challenges we face around sustainability, the book’s message and ideas are much needed and welcome!’
