A beautifully crafted weave of leadership and spirituality July 13, 2008
I haven't read this book from front to back (or back to front) yet and every time I pick it up I feel its creative energy almost buzzing in my hands as I wonder which part I might explore this time.

I find this book an inspiring and well articulated bridge between innovative, tested leadership perspectives and practices and the profound spiritual ground from which they are derived. The poetic language and images evoke a deeper part of me to engage in the process of questing with the book and I find myself eager to hear the stories of the various clients that describe their practical experiences of various Ways of Nowhere.

I also love the honest, simplicity with which Nick and Nic write, weaving in their own experiences and you can hear the integrity from which the Way of Nowhere comes.

It's a brilliantly crafted book providing some really helpful lenses through which to explore your life as an individual or a group and provides very practical ways to engage in a potentially transformational creative exploration.

I know I will come back to it time and time again and each time I will find new insights.

Powerful Questions July 11, 2008
I really enjoyed this book. It is beautifully written in an easy to read way, and there is a depth to what is offered.

The Authors weave together learning from the old traditions, learning from more recent times and their own life experiences. The weaving is very rich and insightful, very relevant to Now and well worth a read.

I love the way it is offered in two halves. For me, I worked with the `my' part first to deepen individual understanding and development using the questions and practices offered. Then moving to the second half of the book - to explore the `our' part, the part offering ways to release the potential of the collective, the business or community. But you choose what works for you

refreshing, compassionate, insightful July 11, 2008
Love this book - the authors have based their understanding, insights, tools and suggestions on actual experience which makes their sugestions authentic and honed. The writing flows with ease and yet I had to stop and really think and feel what they are offering. This is not a book to skim.

I have been waiting for a book like this for a long time not just espousing the 'what to do' but giving powerful ways of 'doing it'( the how) AND they have the confidence to make the spirtual connection thus providing meaning and relevance.

It was such fun to pick it up in the shop and in the moment work out the up-side-down way that the two aspects have been assembled. It is typical of the whole book - thought provoking and engaging.

Thank you

The simple holds the complex June 11, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book is a great testament to how a simple design can hold so much complexity.

The practical wisdom of this book clearly comes from Nic an Nick's deep undertanding of their own personal journeys and the learning they have taken from this knowledge and experience.

As they recommend, the book needs to be taken in small doses and reflected upon. It is too easy to gorge oneself and miss the real value.

Catalysing a business revolution June 9, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Wow, what a book. Two books for the price of one, one about self, "I", and the other about teams organisations, "We".
The first thing to notice is the quality of the book, the print, the paper, the pictures - it is a delight to hold and to read.
This reflects the Way of Nowhere - an indication of the care they take and this is in the story they tell as well.
Whether you read it at one sitting or dip into it, as the authors recommend, you will surely need to return to it again and again.
This is not quick fix of I or Us but a journey of which the first step is reading the book.
You will not be disappointed with your purchase, in time this book will also be viewed as a classic. Enjoy
