Synopsis

Never before has there been a greater need for deeper listening and more open communication to cope with the complex problems facing our organizations, businesses and societies. Renowned scientist David Bohm believed there was a better way for humanity to discover meaning and to achieve harmony. He identified creative dialogue, a sharing of assumptions and understanding, as a means by which the individual, and society as a whole, can learn more about themselves and others, and achieve a renewed sense of purpose.

Media Reviews
Finally, although not a book about education per se, the summer of 2017 is a fine time to read David Bohm's 'On Dialogue' (1996). Bohm, a theoretical physicist, wrote this short, striking text in response to a `general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere, on an unparalleled scale'. The book is a brilliantly penetrating analysis of the way that people habitually talk at cross purposes, blocking and distorting the meaning of what others are trying to say. `Assumptions or opinions are like computer programs in people's minds', he writes. `Those programs take over against the best of intentions - they produce their own intentions.' Bohm's reflections on how to `listen to the whole of what is said' and how to `create something new' in dialogue with others remain highly resonant. -Matt Lloyd-Rose, social researcher, NGO leader and writer.
